Abstract
For the Urals, tourism is characterized by active forms. Strong traditions of sports and amateur tourism live and are transformed into modern forms of active tourism. The Ural regions are taking steps to arrange territories for active tourism. The article defines the concepts of amateur, active, sport tourism, characterizes the state of active tourism, and considers issues of its rational spatial organization. The authors consider popular types of sports tourism in the Urals, namely pedestrian, water and speleological tourism. Specially protected natural areas should play an important role in the active tourism development in Ural. The authors propose to organize the active tourism in the Middle Urals in the form of natural parks. The article gives an argument for creating a natural park on the river Usva in Perm region.
