Kareliais oneof the most famousRussian territoriesin international tourismdue to the presencehereof unique architecturaland cultural andhistorical siteson the islands ofKizhi, Valaam andclose to theadministrative border ofKareliaSolovetsky Islands.Historical andcultural identity ofKarelia, which distinguishes it from otherparts of Russia, is also determined bythe fourcultural heritageof indigenous peoples,historicallyliving in this region- Karelians, Finns, Veps,Russian,createdten centuriesof living togethera unique anddistinct culture.

Leadingamongthe main reasons forthe birthof eco-tourism- isincreasingdue tothe loadof mass tourismon the natural, cultural and historical resources. This loadincreases in directproportion tothe growth rateof touristvisits. The contradiction becomes apparentbetween the satisfactionof tourism demandand management oftourist resources.

The relevance
Ecological tourism is one of the most dynamic and promising forms of tourism activities. Provided literacy development, it can play an important role in resolving the current socio-economic crisis, as well as contributes to the protection of nature and traditional cultures. In many areas ecotourism can be a branch of specialization, introducing a competitive alternative to destroying the nature of business.
Ecotourism - this is one way of knowing oneself and the world, a trip to unspoilt places where you can see our planet for what it was hundreds and even thousands of years ago.
Basic principles of ecotourism:
• travel in nature, the main content of which is to see wildlife, as well as local customs and culture;
• minimize the adverse effects of environmental and socio-cultural, ecological sustainability environment;
• Promote conservation and local socio - cultural environment;
• environmental education and awareness;

• participationof local peopleand the receipt ofincomefrom tourism, creating economic incentivesfor them toenvironmental protection;
• economicefficiencyand promote sustainable developmentvisited regions.
Targeted programs for developmentof tourism in Kareliasuggest the developmentof tourist areasthrough the developmentof non-traditionalforms of tourismbased on the useof natural resources,diversity of climateand relief, historical and cultural heritage.Ecotourismcancapitalize oncurrent trendsin the globaltourism marketandattract foreign touriststo Russia.

Unfortunately, in the area of ​​Pudozh main official site for the development of eco-tourism is the only national park "Vodlozersky" although great natural beauty near enough, only investments for development of the area yet. Pudozh district administration has made great efforts to find investment for the development of tourism in Pudozh region, including environmental.
Rating tourism potential is on three points: the cultural-historical basis, the main attractions, and infrastructure. Pudozh is designated as a historic Russian city. There are only 5 inKarelia. District ranks third in the republic in the number of cultural and historical monuments, including a total of 348, including 152 monuments of architecture, 13 - Art and History, 181 - archeology. This is a huge asset that, until recently, virtually no demand. The greatest tourist interest are: Onega petroglyphs, the National Park "Vodlozersky" ensemble Ilinsky churchyard, Murom monastery. In Pudozh there is LocalHistoryMuseum of name Korablev and the church of Alexander Nevsky, which also have a tourist attraction.

At 15 km from our villagethere is the historic village Pyalma, where it is actively began to develop rural tourism. Overall prospects for the development of tourism in the district looks bright - a rich historical basis, the presence of unique objects. Constraints are lack of development of tourism infrastructure in Pudozh and other towns of the district, the difficulty of transportation, as the city and the main attractions. There is an opportunity for ecological and nature-based tourism, adventure tourism, cultural tourism, religious tourism and others. The development of tourism in the region will contribute to its economic growth. Now area on this parameter is in last place. Creation of tourist infrastructure, the construction of hotels, cafes and restaurants to help solve the problem of unemployment. Well as the organization in the area of ​​environmental and nature-based tourism will contribute to conservation land.

Historic villagePyalma

Pyalmavillage is located in the north-west Pudozh district, one kilometer from the shoreof Lake Onega. It is anintergrowngroup systemof three villagesPyalma, andNewDistrict, located on both banksof the riverPyalma.

Aleshin (19-20 centuries) is located on the western edge of the village on the left bank of the river Pyalma, plays an important role in the building of settlements. Previously was a house-type complex "timber." Now lost-yard shed. Remained outside the house decoration: carved pricheliny partially lost towels, window frames.

Pudozhsky Territory was inhabited by people in ancient times. This is evidenced by cave paintings - the so-called petroglyphs eastern shore of Lake Onega (Devils Nose) left by people who lived here 4-6 thousand years ago. Pudoga as they called this land in the XIX century,was located on the eastern shore of LakeOnega. Now it is Pudozh district of Karelia, which takes its eastern borders with Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions.
Russian colonization of the region led to the formation of villages, graveyards along the small and large rivers, lake shores, and brought into the everyday life of people who have mastered these areas, agriculture, livestock, fisheries, and culture of the time, to establish transport links - the fairway on the rivers and lakes.
In the XI-XIV centuries all over the route of Novgorod Russian settlements arose. At the edge of the area took place Pudozh waterway from Novgorod in the White Sea. Karelia was part of the Novgorod Republic and called Obonezhskoy. Pudozhsky edge - forest, edge, particularly rich folk world.

CONCLUSION

This project was discussedspecificsof eco-tourism.
This project was made by our pupils and teachersfor improvingthe shoreof Lake Onega,and the places ofburialof soldiersof Patriotic War. Our villageand the areain generalhave uniquenatural, cultural and historical resources, which can provide recreationaland tourismneeds of not onlylocal residents, but also visitors from all parts ofRussia.In addition, thearea is interestingandPudozhskyinto perspective, because in its territoryof the programsfor tourism development.
Our projectwill contribute tothe development of ecologicaltourism in theregion,tourists canlearnabout the unique monumentsof nature.

For several years, being in close contact with the National Park "Vodlozersky" our students each year participate in the international event "March for Parks". Pupils of our school, the winners of environmental actions, went to National Parks USA and Finland. Recently, students with school teachers organize environmental action in cleaning the village and the river flowing through its territory. Our settlement Pudozh quite small, and the dirt and debris abound, given that in our settlements in recent years built a sawmill. The local administration has no money even to take the garbage that students gathered in the spring. This garbage and lies on the banks of the river in the bags. With the arrival of spring, birds and pets (dogs) again take this garbage on the village.
Due to the fact that our school is concerned about the environmental situation in the village, we have made a small program to clean up debris from the village, and the shore of Lake Onega, where the locals love to relax, as well as visiting tourists.

At 3 km from our village is a picturesque corner of nature, a good place to relax in summer and winter. This place is located on the shore of Lake Onega, but unfortunately, after the rest of tourists and locals on the beach is a lot of debris, dirt, glass. No one wants to clean up after themselves garbage. So goes the whole summer, and when the next summer season, repeated the same picture. Very painful to look at how people are destroying the nature of the native land. But you can think about - why they throw garbage anywhere? Yes it is easy to find the answer: no lakeside no garbage containers, which could throw the garbage, not equipped places to stay - no places for fireplaces or arbors, or vacation homes. But a lot of passing tourists stopped to rest in this place, and sometimes they can be seen sleeping on the ground in the summer. Some people are traveling families, with their children, they sleep in a stuffy car. A place-what beautiful!
Pupils are ready to make our forces to beautification of the beach to relax, only to finance they have not.
