Abstract
Mass tourism is one of the main factors that contributes to economic growth and is a major objective to most of the countries
nowadays. It has a lot of positive impact on country’s economic performance, however, there is always a trade-off between
economic and environmental incentives. Therefore, mass tourism has a driving force to environmental degradation especially if
its contribution to pollution exceeds the optimum level. The main aim of this paper, is to test the impact of tourism on the
Russian Federation’s environment, to see the major actions of tourists that lead to environmental deterioration during the 2000s
and forward such as, dumping the garbage, harming the wildlife, emitting large gas emissions and energy consumptions. In
addition, revealing Russia’s problems with tourism development and ecological footprints. Finally, we are going to suggest
some solutions to maintain sustainable development and conservation of resources including the usage of natural gases instead
of electricity, using efficient light bulbs and water flow controllers in order to limit consumptions. Also, training programs are
made by institutions to enhance the employees’ skills and raise their awareness of modern technology. Lastly and most
importantly, Russia turned out to be one of the top countries maintaining sustainable development and has good future to being
green.
