Abstract

This study examines the potential of post-industrial cultural tourism in Siberia, with a focus on the Trans-Siberian Railway and the adaptive reuse of former industrial sites. Industrial heritage has become an increasingly important factor in regional identity and sustainable tourism worldwide, yet research on Siberia remains scarce. Using a qualitative mixed-method approach, including case studies, document analysis, and thematic interpretation, the paper highlights opportunities and challenges in transforming railway heritage, mining sites, and related infrastructure into tourism assets. Findings indicate that, while the Trans-Siberian Railway serves as a powerful symbol for cultural branding, industrial reuse faces significant barriers, including infrastructure gaps, investment requirements, and environmental concerns. The study contributes to the global industrial heritage literature by situating Siberia within comparative discussions on cultural tourism, regional development, and community involvement.
