Abstract

At the post-tourism stage, the attitude towards travel perceived as a way to get a unique experience and associated with a kind of game is changing. Along with this, destinations also begin to be perceived differently – as something modelled in accordance with the expectations of the tourist and their subjective ideas about local culture, which inevitably leads to conflicts with the local population, who do not want to adapt to the needs of “strangers”. The protest against the exploitation of local identity and excessive tourist flow has led to the emergence of tourism-phobia, which takes on various forms – from reflecting a negative attitude towards tourists in various languages to anti-tourist public organisations. Overcoming the fear of visitors who can change the usual way of life and impose a new identity becomes one of the most important elements for the successful development of tourism in a destination. In this regard, cases of cities that are gaining popularity among niche tourists are of particular interest. The article considers the examples of Magnitogorsk and Vyksa, two metallurgical monotowns – leaders of Russian industrial tourism. The author demonstrates that the presence of a historically established image known outside the city can reduce the risk of tourism-phobia, while as a result of the lack of explicit self-representation, inauthentic attractors arise (such as the Art-Ovrag / Vyksa Festival), which are attractive to tourists but rejected by the local community, which becomes an obstacle to the harmonious development of tourism and hospitality in a particular location. Building communication with the locals which helps demonstrate the positive aspects of the inevitable transformation, the search for compromises and the formation of industrial pride is the key to levelling the negative effects of tourism and the successful implementation of creative projects in industrial single-industry towns.

如何不陷入艺术狂潮:旅游恐惧症和现代应对策略
在后旅游阶段,人们对旅行的态度正在改变,旅行被视为一种获得独特体验的方式,并与一种游戏联系在一起。与此同时,人们也开始对目的地有不同的看法——根据游客的期望和他们对当地文化的主观想法来建模,这不可避免地会导致与当地居民的冲突,因为他们不想适应“陌生人”的需求。对利用当地身份和过度游客流动的抗议导致了旅游恐惧症的出现,这种恐惧症有多种形式——从用各种语言反映对游客的负面态度到反旅游的公共组织。克服游客的恐惧,他们可以改变通常的生活方式,强加一种新的身份,成为目的地旅游业成功发展的最重要因素之一。在这方面,在小众游客中越来越受欢迎的城市案例尤其令人感兴趣。本文以马格尼托戈尔斯克和维克萨这两个冶金单镇为例,它们是俄罗斯工业旅游业的领导者。作者证明,在城市之外已知的历史形象的存在可以降低旅游恐惧症的风险,而由于缺乏明确的自我表现,出现了不真实的吸引力(如奥夫拉格艺术节/维萨艺术节),这些吸引力对游客有吸引力,但被当地社区拒绝,这成为特定地区旅游业与酒店业和谐发展的障碍。与当地人建立沟通,有助于展示不可避免的转型、寻求妥协和形成工业自豪感的积极方面,是消除旅游业负面影响和在工业单一产业城镇成功实施创意项目的关键。
