Abstract

Nowadays, one of the most urgent tasks of the socio-cultural policy of the Russian Federation is to solve the problems of preservation and actualization of the cultural heritage as an important factor in the spiritual and material life of people. The study emphasizes that the issues of preservation and the development of the cultural heritage have always been significant for Russia and the Crimea. So, these issues have become particularly relevant as a result of the events of 2014 − the reunification of the Crimea with Russia and the introduction of various measures against the Crimean Republic of “anctions” nature, which caused an active search for additional resources for the regional development – including the field of culture. According to the developed approach of this article, the cultural heritage can be not only an integral part of history in modern conditions, as well as the Keeper of spirituality, etc., but also a source of the development of territories. At the same time, the author emphasizes that the cultural heritage itself, without “the involvement” in a variety of socio-cultural practices, cannot be a factor of the regional development. Particular attention is paid to the assessment of the regulatory framework of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Crimea in terms of preservation, the usage and the promotion of the cultural heritage. The author notes that this practical importance of the cultural heritage as a resource acquires in the relevant social and constructive practices, and above all – in tourism, are increasingly supported by the point of view in the domestic expert cultural community. The article describes the features of the representation of the cultural heritage of the Crimea. The author provides a description and analysis the number of measures that can attract the cultural heritage to the tourist activities of the region. At the same time, the author notes a certain positive effect of the use of the cultural heritage as a resource of tourism, draws attention to a number of problems that require the consideration and the solution. The conclusions emphasize that the cultural heritage and tourism are interrelated elements of the socio-cultural sphere. However, if the cultural heritage is considered as a resource for the development of territories at the level of the Federal legislation, then the usage of the cultural heritage will be still fragmented in practice. It has a mosaic character, and so it needs to be formed a systematic, interdepartmental approach. Therefore, there is an urgent need to create special platforms for the interaction of the government and the business nowadays in Russia and in its regions, including the Republic of Crimea. It is necessary to use mechanisms of the inter-sectoral coordination between tourism agencies and cultural entities, the purpose of which should be to support and to present a holistic socio-cultural environment of the territories through the implementation of their cultural potential, by means of tourist activities as well.
