Tatarstan is going to consider the touristic experience of Khakassia and Tyva. This kind of decision was made after working trips of delegation headed by the President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov to these republics. The Chairman of the State Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan for Tourism Sergei Ivanov reported it today during the briefing in the republican Cabinet of Ministers.
As explained by the speaker, Khakassia and Tyva possess the unique natural resources. “The state wilderness area of Khakassia occupies the territory of 267 thousand ha. Our Volzhski-Kamski state biosphere reserve occupies 10 thousand ha. Khakassia has an unique experience regarding the usage of the reserve in the development of active tourism. There is a reserve in Tatarstan too, but this kind of tourism business is not developed much yet. Khakassia has made much more progress and this experience we are going to consider by watching how they cooperate within the limits of legislation concerning the protection of conservation areas, how they create routes and extensively attract tourists there”, he said.
