20.500.12556/DKUM-94841 Analysis of the current state and future development potential of extreme tourism in Kamchatka 1st cycle professional bachelor's studies graduate thesis Analiza trenutnega stanja in prihodnjih razvojnih potencialov ekstremnega turizma na Kamčatki This thesis explores the current condition and prospects of extreme tourism development in the Kamchatka Peninsula, a remote and ecologically sensitive region of Russia. Drawing upon academic literature and semi-structured interviews with local stakeholders, the study identifies key drivers, barriers, and risks associated with extreme tourism in Kamchatka. The research reveals that despite Kamchatka’s unique natural resources—active volcanoes, geysers, wildlife, and cultural heritage—the region faces major challenges including poor infrastructure, limited accessibility, inadequate safety systems, and weak marketing. Thematic analysis of interviews highlights the importance of environmental sustainability, local community involvement, and strategic planning. The findings are compared with existing academic literature, showing a high degree of alignment and adding local insights into the practical realities of tourism development. The study concludes that Kamchatka holds substantial potential for extreme tourism, provided that investments are made in infrastructure, safety standards, and inclusive development models. Recommendations are made for policymakers, tourism agencies, and local stakeholders to promote sustainable and responsible growth of the sector. Ta diplomska naloga raziskuje trenutno stanje in možnosti razvoja ekstremnega turizma na polotoku Kamčatka, oddaljeni in ekološko občutljivi regiji Rusije. Na podlagi pregleda znanstvene literature in polstrukturiranih intervjujev z lokalnimi deležniki študija opredeljuje ključne dejavnike, ovire in tveganja, povezana z razvojem ekstremnega turizma na Kamčatki. Raziskava razkriva, da kljub edinstvenim naravnim virom regije — aktivnim vulkanom, gejzirjem, divjim živalim in kulturni dediščini — obstajajo velike težave, kot so slaba infrastruktura, omejena dostopnost, pomanjkljivi varnostni sistemi in šibko trženje. Tematska analiza intervjujev poudarja pomen okoljske trajnosti, vključevanja lokalne skupnosti in strateškega načrtovanja. Ugotovitve so primerjane z obstoječo znanstveno literaturo in dopolnjene z lokalnimi vpogledi v praktične razmere razvoja turizma. Študija zaključuje, da ima Kamčatka velik potencial za ekstremni turizem, če bodo izvedene naložbe v infrastrukturo, varnostne standarde in vključujoče razvojne modele. Podane so tudi priporočila za oblikovalce politik, turistične agencije in lokalne skupnosti za spodbujanje trajnostne in odgovorne rasti sektorja. extreme tourism Kamchatka remote area tourism infrastructure local communities ekstremni turizem Kamčatka turizem na oddaljenih območjih infrastruktura lokalne skupnosti true true false [Y.
