Russia has a huge potential for the development of domestic and inbound tourism. The strategy for the de-velopment of tourism in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025 puts the maximum implementation of these types of tourist activities as a priority. The development of tourism is also an incentive for such sectors of the economy as trade, construction, agriculture, utilities, transport, communications. Tourism, as such, contributes to strengthening the physical and spiritual health of citizens, enriching knowledge about the world around them, helps to understand and accept foreign culture, traditions, and customs. In this regard, the author conducted a study, studied the goals and principles of the main regulatory legal acts at the federal and regional levels that regulate the tourist activity of the Russian Federation and identified problematic aspects. The author has developed ways and methods of solving problems and prospects for the development of legal regulation of tourist activities in the Russian Federation.
