KITTING AS A TYPE OF EXTREME TOURISM, ITS POSSIBILITIES AND FEATURES OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE PERM REGION

Abstract

Kiting is one of the emerging extreme sports with a history of less than 50 years. For its implementation, two conditions are necessary: extended flat surfaces and wind. The Perm Territory has all the natural and climatic prerequisites for the development of kiting, thanks to the presence of two large reservoirs: Kamsky and Votkinsky. There are also athletes and people interested in this type of extreme tourism. Nevertheless, there is not a single kite center in the Perm Territory. The article examines the history of the development of kiting, the possibilities of training and the level of its development in the Perm Territory, where snowkiting is more developed in winter, on frozen reservoirs and vast snow fields. The experience of other regions in the development of kiting is being studied. Taking into account the opinion of experts, the need to create an infrastructure for this activity is substantiated, the most suitable site is selected for creating a kite center in the Perm Territory, located in the village of Visim, Dobryansky District, on the shore of the Kama reservoir.
