Transport accessibility of tourism objects in the Murmansk region

Tourism is one of the drivers of sustainable development of the regional economy. Restrictions in Western countries for Russian tourists have increased the demand for independent road trips and attracted additional attention from authorities to the issues of accessibility of the country's transport infrastructure. This article assesses the transport accessibility of tourist sites in the Murmansk region for autotourists. Based on the results of the study, the average indicators of time spent traveling between major cities of the Murmansk region were determined, and areas with a lack of transport infrastructure were identified. The proposed approaches to determining transport accessibility in Murmansk showed the distribution of objects of interest in space, identified a promising area for creating new collective accommodation facilities, and also determined the time costs of traveling through the urban environment.
