Aim. The work aimed to propose directions for the further development of industrial tourism in the Republic of Bashkortostan, to construct a model of interaction between its participants (stakeholders), and to determine the expected results for them, as well as to classify the risks associated with industrial excursions.

Objectives. The work seeks to analyze the state of industrial tourism in the Republic of Bashkortostan (hereinafter referred to as RB) and to assess its potential for further development; to propose directions and objects of industrial tourism; to develop a model of interaction between participants (stakeholders) of industrial tourism and to determine the role of each of them; to classify possible risks in organizing and conducting industrial excursions; to present the expected results of industrial tourism development for all its interested participants.

Methods. The study employed analysis and synthesis, generalization and classification, as well as modeling as a methodological basis for the article. The information base included legislative acts of the Russian Federation, data from official government websites of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Bashkortostan, scientific articles, monographs, periodicals in the field of industrial tourism, methodologies for the development of industrial tourism in Russia, as well as statistical compilations on the topic under study.

Results. The study was used to assess the potential of the Republic of Bashkortostan for the development of industrial tourism, to compile a classification of its objects, to propose a model of interaction between participants in the development of industrial tourism, which can be used to determine the role of each of the stakeholders, as well as to identify the risks associated with the formation and implementation of excursion tours to industrial facilities, and to determine the expected results from the development of industrial tourism for all its participants and the republic as a whole.

Conclusions. The study conducted by the author and the proposed model of interaction between industrial tourism participants allow for a more comprehensive approach to its development, which will increase the popularity and prestige of trade jobs among young people, an increase in public awareness of the modernization of production and the development of technologies, a decrease in the outflow of the younger generation from the region, and the creation of a system for exchanging experience in various industries.
