The Buffer Zone of the Kizhi Pogost World Heritage Site is Considered as a Pilot Area for the Integrated Development of Tourism, Taking into Account Anthropogenic Load

A proposed tourist and recreational cluster in Sennaya Bay, Lake Onega, aims to serve as a 'water entrance gate' to the Kizhi Museum Reserve. This initiative seeks to alleviate anthropogenic pressure on Kizhi Island while enhancing tourism development in the Zaonezhye territory of the Republic of Karelia. By expanding the tourist destination with recreation centers and glamping facilities on nearby islands, the project aims to distribute visitor flow more evenly, preserve biological diversity, and diversify services without negatively impacting the island's nature. The approach leverages growing interest in multi-day tours, offering a sustainable model for integrated tourism development while maintaining existing protection regimes.
