Ethnic tourism draws much interest today. While ethnic tours for adults are being discussed by the designated authorities, providing the worked-out destinations to many regions of Russia, this same type of tourism for the children and youth is still a new form of activity which implies methodological and psycho-pedagogical basis. Ethnic tourism is also relevant due to the implication of the Federal State Educational Standard for the primary and secondary school. One of its requirements is for the students to achieve their personal results. Thus ethnic tourism may be introduced as one of the approaches for the extracurricular activity. Within the polyethnic educational environment of Mari El it is important to introduce the students to the specifics of the history, culture, lifestyle and traditions of the ethnic groups who has lived on this territory for many years. In order to organize ethnotouristic tours in Mari El for the children we need to define the destinations and thematic subject of tours.
