In this article the comparative analysis of the contents of definitions of "tourist" and "tripper" set forth by the Federal Law "About bases of tourist activity in the Russian Federation" and the provisions of the art. 2 of the Federal Law "About the right of citizens of the Russian Federation on the freedom of movement, choice of residence within the Russian Federation" has been made. There has been proposed a number of amendments to the statutory definition in order to achieve such a significant accuracy for regulatory and statistical tourist activities and for tourist’s rights protection.
