Abstract
As the Kemerovo Region adds its touristic capacity, the local tourism industry needs scientific approach to its most relevant issues, and local periodicals can provide a lot of useful information in this respect. The Krasnaya Shoria is a newspaper published for the Tashtagol district community. It proved to be a reliable source on the history of tourism in Shoria Mountains in 1999–2010. The publications revealed the key stages that Sheregesh went through on its way from a mining village to a federal resort, i.e., from the concept and targeted programs to the actual infrastructure development. The analysis also casts light upon the conflict between sports and tourism, as well as such social issues as high housing prices and unofficial employment. The newspaper was a tool for developing positive attitudes to the changes brough about by the tourism-related social projects. Apart from providing the chronology of events, the Krasnaya Shoria contains unique contemporary testimonies, statistical data, official statements, documents, and expert assessments that build up a complete profile of the Sheregesh Sports and Touristic Complex in 1999–2010. This multifaceted picture includes some unique aspects not to be found in official documents.
