The study raised the archive data to consider the history of the amateur sport tourism in Udmurtia from its start to the modern progress, with a special emphasis on its institutional design, forms and methods. Objective of the study was to make a retrospective analysis of the amateur sport tourism in the area considering the local sport tourism movement in Udmurtia as an integral part of the national tourism with an emphasis on the local specifics. The local amateur tourism, as demonstrated by its history, has always been in the lead of the national movement. The study specifies its key development stages with the relevant new institutional/ sector management forms. Prior to 1990, the amateur sports tourism in Udmurtia had evolved as a public movement with the tourist clubs managed by the Udmurt Regional Council for Tourism and Excursions, Tourist Federation, voluntary sport associations and tourist sections supported by most of the large-scale industries, institutions and educational establishments. It was the municipal tourist clubs that heavily contributed to the mass amateur tourism development at that time for they established and supported a wide network of the tourist sections and clubs under industrial companies and different institutions. It was at that time that the amateur tourism had been increasingly popular and commonly recognized as an efficient health improvement activity of high benefits for the human volitional and ethical progress and due appreciation of the national historical and modern values.
