Abstract
The article presents an analysis of the works of pre-revolutionary authors dealing with the development of educational travel in the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th-early 20th century. The research covers the works of historians, educators, local historians, geographers and travelers who considered the role of travel in the educational process and cultural development of the country’s regions. Special attention is paid to the analysis of materials from pre-revolutionary researchers reflecting the specifics of the organization and functioning of educational travel in various provinces and regions of Russia. The article considers works assessing the influence of geographical factors and ethnocultural features on the formation of educational routes and programs. The works devoted to the role of local scientific societies, museums and educational institutions in organizing excursions for students and teachers are analyzed. There are key centers for the development of educational travel, such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan and other cities that attracted with their history and culture. These cities became magnets for young minds seeking to expand their horizons and gain knowledge beyond the school curriculum. In addition, the main trends in assessing the importance of educational travel for the development of regional culture and education in pre-revolutionary Russia are identified. An overview of promising areas for further research in this field is presented.
