The subjects of this research are so called development corridorborder region, represented by the Kaliningrad region, and the peripheral resource region, represented by the Altai Krai. The choice of regions is defined by the high level of tourist industry development. While doing the research, the authors of the article used general research methodology, quantitative and qualitative assessment, methods of economic, statistical, comparative and factor analysis, statistical groupings, and sociological observation. A statistical analysis revealed and analytically justified the difference in the level of socio-economic development of the Kaliningrad region and the Altai Krai. Development corridors show significant advantages in foreign trade and the size of the gross regional product, which confirms the correctness of the considered approaches to the classification of border regions. A sociological survey of tourist preferences showed differences in the tourist orientation of young people that correlate with the typology of border regions, which may define the developed programs for the marketing promotion of tourist destinations considering the main barriers.
