The article considers various factors contributing to the development of tourism in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF). On the example of the Murmansk region, the indicators of tourist flow, as well as the impact of tourism on the economy and, accordingly, on the sustainable development of the region, are analyzed. Problems of sustainable development at the regional level were studied in the Kirov-Apatity district of the Murmansk region, where the scientific base of the geographical faculty of Moscow State University is located. Previous studies have made it possible to obtain certain representative statistical material. As a result of the work of Apatit OJSC (one of the largest enterprises in the world engaged in the extraction and concentration of phosphorus ores), serious environmental problems exist in Khibiny. The following dominant types of tourism are distinguished in the Murmansk region: ski tourism; fishing and hunting tourism; cruise tourism; nature tourism; business. Recently, environmental and ethnic tourism are gaining momentum. These are mainly foreign tourists who want to live in places of Lapland, where a person?s foot does not step (for example, a camp site near Yokanga). The results of the study lead to the conclusion that the implementation of the principles of sustainable development in practice allows you to include resources in economic activity in such a way that they are both effectively used and saved. According to experts, North-West Russia has a variety of cultural, historical and natural heritage sites and deserves the development of new, unique tourism programs and offers. This is confirmed by the growing demand for offers developed jointly by foreign cruise companies and Russian tour operators. Thus, in the long term, Arctic tourism in the Russian north can provide income no less than mining.
