Setting a research problem • Problem question: how does social conflict affect the development of tourism in the South of Russia? • • To answer the problem question we need to find out: what a social conflict per se is and in which ways it is able to influence the touristic sphere how social conflicts influence the touristic sphere development in the South of Russia what the ways of improving the touristic sphere in the indicated region in general are? • • Purpose of research: to develop an effective pattern of tourism development within the framework of social conflicts’ presence The degree of investigation: The sphere of social conflicts and it’s influence upon the tourism development has been studied by a number of scientists and has also been reflected in their works (enumeration and short description of works’ main ideas). However, the influence of social conflicts on the development of the tourism sphere in the South of Russia and ways of improvement of the indicated sphere’s state in this region has not been a subject of profound study.

Defining the terms • Social conflict is the struggle for agency or power in society, which occurs when two or more actors oppose each other in social interaction, reciprocally exerting social power in an effort to attain scarce or incompatible goals and prevent the opponent from attaining them. • Tourism development is the development of all the elements of the touristic sphere in a certain region or a number of regions.

The background of the problem Social conflicts have always been one of the most important and grave problems for the South of Russia, as well as it is a highly multicultural region, which consolidates numbers of various religions. Social conflicts affect all spheres of life in the region, including the touristic sphere. The development of tourism is vital for the South of Russia because… Social conflicts affect tourism development in the following ways… Consequently, there is a critical necessity for creating a pattern of tourism development in the indicated region in the context of a social conflict’s presence.

Abstract The given thesis paper deals with the problem of social conflict’s influence on the tourism sphere development in the South of Russia. This issue is of the highest importance for the indicated region, as tourism is one of the most profitable and perspective resources for the Southern Region. However, because of the incessant conflicts there, the tourist inflow is cut down by implication and it is of vital importance to figure out ways to control and correct the situation. The basic research method used in this paper is the comparative method of research within the framework of communicative studies. Using this method we have determined the ways in which conflicts affect the indicated sphere in the South of Russia and found out that the mass media are the source capable of controlling social conflict. Consequently, we have created a pattern of Mass Media’s conduct in the context of a social conflict. The cultivated plan provides recommendations for various Mass Media on how to act and how to present news about the conflict situation in the region in general and how to present this or that concrete conflict situation.
