ABSTRACT
The article looks upon the types of migration tourism, methods of its legal and economic regulation, and issues of migrants’ institutional, social and legal adaptation in Russia. The aim of the study is to provide tools for enhanced project management techniques for the tourism sector. The authors utilize general scientific methods and specific economic tools for the research—the comparative historical method, system analysis and statistics. The results are both theoretical and empirical. A typology of modern migration tourism is worked out. The national strategy for the migration tourism development, its legal foundations and collisions of laws are studied. Concerns about regional disproportionate tourism development are described in terms of desirable migration, shadow migration, “bankruptcy tourism” and global migration trends. The authors suggest some ways to resolve the problems.
