영문 초록

This paper examines the usage of the “ecotourism” terminology in the Adygera Republic located in the Caucasus region of Russian Federation. This area is blessed with the natural and cultural preconditions which qualify it as a genuine ecotouristic destination. Thirty per cent of the republic is made up of a special protected nature area including the Caucasus State Biosphere National Park, the biggest national park in Europe, and National Park “Bolshoi Thatch” which is a UNESCO heritage project. It is the home to a unique indigenous culture, the Cherckes people, who dae back to more than 10 centuries, and have relatively been unblemished by globalisation and communism. The current developing economy of the Caucasus region exerts influence on The Adygera Republic: due to its unique geography and history, mild climate, varied anthropological and cultural monuments, the republic is well positioned to embrace and capitalize on ecotourism development. However, characteristics of current tourism position expansion of the region give the impression that nature-based mass tourism is taking hold rather than bona fide ecotourism.
