Abstract
Popular science tourism is a new direction through the understanding of the theoretical concept in Russian and world tourism at the intersection of science and tourism. The relevance of the research: popular science tourism and its directions are reflcted in theoretical and applied publications of domestic and foreign authors. A review of Russian and foreign literature allows us to say with accuracy about the lack of elaboration of the concept of “popular science tourism” not only in Russia, but also around the world [1]. This new direction of tourism will contribute to the economy of the region, will create positive economic and social effcts. A program of youth and student tourism has been launched in Russia, thanks to which young people will be able to travel around the regions of Russia for the purpose of professional development, internships at production facilities, as well as participation in scientifi events and writing scientifi papers. From an early age, schoolchildren can visit industrial enterprises (events, excursions, exhibitions and much more), contributing to science with new projects and ideas. Given the instability of international processes, the economic crisis, and the closure of borders in 2020 associated with the pandemic, the question of which tourism destinations need to be developed and what new product business can offr has become more urgent. The Kirov region has a high tourist potential and a large number of educational resources for the organization of popular science tourism on its territory. The article examines the role of popular science tourism, its impact on the regional economy and the development prospects as a new direction in Russian tourism, which has not received suffient attention until now. Popular science tourism helps young scientists to solve the issue of fiancing scientifi expeditions. The benefi of such a symbiosis of science and travel is that a scientist gets access to the object of his research, and a tourist gets a unique scientifi view of the world, access to the most interesting places on the planet and satisfaction from his personal contribution to science.
