Correlation of the concepts “educational” and “intellectual” tourism: main similarities and differences

Abstract

Authors analyze various points of view that have formed in the scientific community in relation to educational and intellectual tourism. There are fairly well-established views regarding the first type; scientists highlight the goal of implementing educational tourism, its subjects, etc. As for intellectual tourism, the situation is much more complicated due to the fact that in the Russian literature, there have been only a few studies devoted to theoretical research on this issue. Naturally, this creates gaps and, therefore, problems in the practical sphere. With this in mind, we attempted to clarify the conceptual apparatus of intellectual tourism. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that educational and intellectual tourism have similar goals. However, they differ significantly from each other, which does not allow equating these two terms.
