The role and significance of architectural monuments in ethno-tourism activities (on the example of the Chechen Republic)

Abstract

The article reveals the role and value of architectural monuments of the Chechen Republic from the point of view of ethno-tourist activity. The authors consider the concept of ethnographic tourism as a part of cultural tourism as a whole and its influence on cultural heritage as a factor in the spiritual revival of the Chechen people. Ethnotourism is currently actively developing, attracting more and more attention from both tourists and local authorities, stimulating the development of small and medium-sized businesses. In this work, on the example of monuments of ancient and medieval architecture of the Chechen Republic, directions of ethno-tourist activity, aimed at familiarizing visitors with the way of life, traditions, culture of one or another region, taking into account the specifics of historical heritage, geographical location and natural and climatic conditions, are shown.
