The development Program project of road transport and tourism infrastructure «The roads of Power’s Soul» is present- ed in the article. The program was developed by the Coordinating Council for the development of tourism in the Central Federal District (СFD) of the Association of interregional social and economic interaction «Central Federal District» and the Russian State University of Tourism and Service. The urgency of the creation of generalizing, integral tourism and tourist services development programs for all regions of the CFD is justified in the article. It was noted that tourism is the rapidly growing sector of the economy CFD. But comprehensive solution of issues related to creation of the new tourism products cannot be provided by the only development of the infrastructure. This hinders the development of effective promotion tools, introduction of innovative technologies, staff training in the tourism and service of district. The creation of a unified tourism space is the one of the main directions of the tourism sector development in the Central Federal District. Such approach can only be implemented within a unified inter-regional program of tourism development in district and creating a tourist cluster with the active participation of each subject of the CFD. The program development project of road transport and tourism infrastructure in 2015 – 2025 is proposed in the article. The goals, objectives, stages, outcomes of the program are defined. The scheme of the complex federal automobile segmented tourist ring route through the territory of all the regions – subjects of the CFD is proposed. The main results of a comprehensive analysis of tourist routs, facilities and activities recommended for inclusion in the program are represented. The criteria for selection of destinations and also companies and organizations of tourism infrastructure for inclusion in the Program are substantiated. It is concluded that practical implementation of developed Program is very important; it might be very effective for the tourism development in the Central Federal District and Russia as a whole. Keywords: autotransport tourism infrastructure, «The roads of Power’s Soul», roadside service, the Central Federal District, program project.

The main mechanism for the tourism industry development both in the country and in the certain region is investment. The authors define the investment attractiveness estimation of the regions for the domestic tourism development as a system of indicators that comprehensively reflect the potential for investment, based on the investor’s strategic objectives and accounting for profitability, future cash flows and the level of risk. The article contains a number of basic methodological provisions that must be taken into account when elaborating a system of such indicators. For today the investment attractiveness estimation system of the regions for the domestic tourism development does not yet exist, whereas for many other industries and spheres of the economy, such systems have been developed to a sufficient extent. The scientific literature gives insufficient attention to the issue of assessing the regional investment attractiveness of the tourism sector. The authors make an attempt to create the universal system of parameters and estimated indicators, allowing to form understanding of the degree of tourism sector investment attractiveness of particular entities in the Russian Federation. The article offers the tourism investment attractiveness estimation model for the Russian regions based on the data of the Federal State Statistics Service. This model has been tested on the example of three entities of the Russian Federation - Altai, Krasnodar and Perm regions. The obtained results indicate that the proposed system of indicators and the evaluation model is fairly objective and representative. The developed tourism investment attractiveness estimation model for a region can be widely applied in the practice of all participants of the investment process in the course of justifying and making decisions on investment activity in the tourism development in specific regions. Also, the offered model and the system of indicators will be useful in planning and creating regional programs for the tourism development.
