Black Sea coasts in post-Soviet Russia reflect more general trends within the country. They help to understand the changes all over the country. We propose to analyze in this article the process of building of the sustainability of a tourist place like Sochi and to explore the transformations of the station through the survey of some new forms of tourism and investment of public and private actors. The examination of this case will allow us to draw more general conclusions about the positioning of the places in the tourism field considering the specificities of access to tourism of an “emerging” country like Russia.
