The article shows the features of the construction and the actualization of the rural settlement mission under conditions of post-industrial transformation within the tourist territory development according to Tourism Development Strategy in the Russian Federation until 2035. The article proposes the method of designing the mission as a relevant socially significant role of the settlement as a system in cooperation with the local community and the external economic environment. The authors emphasize the need for constant identifying the compliance of the current settlement mission with current trends of socio-economic, political and cultural development. It should be noted that changing the settlement mission in the process of its historical development is an absolutely typical and normal process. The authors also state that the formation of tourist territory is impossible without its current mission.
