**4. Conclusions**

When it comes to the main objective of the research, which was to identify the mobility problems of a tourist destination in remote areas of natural value, it should be considered that this objective has been achieved. Furthermore, the assumption (Hypothesis 1) that road transport is the most popular form of travel in remote areas with natural assets was verified positively, as more than 90% of respondents used this form of transport.

Nevertheless, there is a significant discrepancy in the scope of research conducted and the research material obtained. Namely, the research conducted in the Russian region was significantly limited, due to the political and social conditions and the resulting research needs. The coronavirus pandemic has been a significant obstacle to more extensive research in each region. Despite these obstacles, the results obtained should be considered representative for remote natural value tourism destinations characterised by accidentally valuable assets.

The problems encountered by both groups of tourists in terms of mobility service provision and transport infrastructure represent a gap. Analysis of the results of the survey of tourists travelling in the Hajnowka and Zaonezhye areas in terms of problems related to transport provision and infrastructure indicates the following problems in terms of road infrastructure:


The apparent differences between the needs of tourists from both regions in terms of detailed infrastructure elements are due to the level of existing infrastructure. Given the demand for the Zaonezhye area by tourists (as evidenced by the summer of 2020), the many social problems of local residents, the poor development of infrastructure (poor quality of roads, lack of gas stations, power cuts, lack of catering facilities, problems with berths, etc.), it is necessary to consider the development of a separate programme for the development of Zaonezhye.

The research showed that it is possible to formulate some recommendations that are common to both regions, which are as follows:


In addition, respondents visiting the Hajnowka Poviat indicated the need to improve travel conditions for people with disabilities, which should be considered as one of the priorities in upcoming road and transport investments. The current range of transport services in the Hajnowka Poviat indicates that the main problem lies in the frequency of public transport. To a lesser extent, the problem lies in the state of the transport infrastructure, the accessibility of public transport and the availability of information on public transport. The cost of public transport tickets and the safety of travel are rated strongly positive. Promoting a model of private car use by people travelling together is one of the best options.

When formulating practical recommendations for entrepreneurs and state and local authorities, the geopolitical specificities of both regions must be taken into account. The Russian region requires the development of purely tourist infrastructure, mainly accommodation and service services. Based on the analysis, the following recommendations can be considered to improve the mobility and accessibility situation in Zaonezhye:


The added value of the research is the research itself and the research procedure with regard to remote regions with valuable natural assets, as these destinations, due to their uniqueness, should increase the number of incoming tourists by improving accessibility to attractions, but without increasing the negative impact of tourism on these assets. The results obtained, therefore, have both theoretical and practical value. The results of the study coincide with the opinions of other researchers, for example Zamparini and Vergori (2021) and Coppola et al. (2020) regarding transport policies for tourist mobility, which should be synchronised as much as possible and should follow the principles of sustainable tourism, especially one that is environmentally friendly.

The indicated problems in the field of mobility constitute a significant limitation of tourist traffic in both destinations; therefore, the search for new solutions should be preceded by more detailed scientific research aimed at searching for new and also innovative solutions. This recommendation applies mainly to the Russian region, where the presented research was conducted for the first time.
