Typology of art-tourism cultural resources based on the example of Izhevsk, Udmurt Republic

The article examines the concept of art tourism as a direction of cultural travel (tourist interaction with local culture through creative self-expression) and its impact on the demand and attractiveness of urban space using the city of Izhevsk as an example. Izhevsk ‘s current resources that can be used to promote art tourism are described. A typology of cultural resources for the development of art tourism is proposed. Once organized as tourist routes in the territory of Izhevsk, these resources would allow forming a territorial map of art tourism in the city and trigger off a mechanism of emotional impact on local residents and visitors, solving the problem of high competition between cities on the domestic tourism market. The emphasis is on the art resources of the urban environment, since the greatest number of creative activities occur in the city space (architecture, fine and decorative arts, etc.).
