For Yakutia industrial tourism is a new theme in the development of the region, but I’m sure the industry will be a significant part of our economy, and we get to talk about not only Russia but the whole world – said during the signing of the document the head of Aysen Nikolaev.
He noted that the first projects will be implemented jointly with the company “ALROSA”
The deepest quarry in the world, a unique process of extraction and processing of diamonds, I believe, deserve to be known to tourists from around the world.
What else could demonstrate the Republic to potential tourists? Here the development of blacksmithing, the manufacture of birch-bark and wooden dishes, the Yakut knives, and indeed the region’s many artists and artisans, able to surprise. It’s not quite industry, most crafts, but why not show the goods. In addition, according to the head of the region, an attractive proposition in South Yakutia “with the richest deposits of coal parks with incredible equipment.”
In the regional Ministry of enterprise idea developed.
– For example, a bakery can also be the object of industrial tourism. Now we are developing a registry of those companies that are ready for this project to connect. In addition, we will not be able to do without the involvement of tour operators – said the head of the Department of tourism Tamara Solov’eva.
Without operators, of course, no tourism can not be. But I wonder: people usually willingly picks the best ideas, has not commented on the emerging new direction. A possible reason for this silence is explained to an experienced organizer of the travel industry, founder and leader of several agencies Vyacheslav Ipatiev.
Commerce and tourism generally the least attractive. And in Yakutia, where, except ALROSA, and to entice some guests are nothing special, even more so. But in the diamond company, there is a problem with the admission of foreign enterprises. The most interesting objects there regime. Don’t know what should be done to the authors ideas to the diamond miners descended to the visitors. It’s a rich company, potential revenues from tours there for the money is not considered. If the problem of tolerance specifically to the enterprises of “ALROSA” will solve something, maybe it will. And if not? To show people how the coal in the wagons loaded? It is not serious. In Yakutia key areas can and should be ecological and extreme tourism. We have a beautiful nature, that she should focus. And industrial tours probably have the right to be as a side product, – shared his considerations of the expert.
it is Curious that a few months ago in another tour Agency to the correspondent “RG” in approximately the same colors described opportunities are not the future, and de��related route associated with diamond mining. Industrial tourism in Yakutia – it is not entirely new. Ten years ago, the local authorities established tour “Diamond way”. It was assumed that the people staying in the city of peace, will show you all the most interesting processes related to the mining of precious stones. However, the geographic club “North wind”, who was assigned the project, said that this route is not in demand because of the fact that tourists are not allowed on sensitive sites. And to go to distant lands for the sake of walking around the city and its suburbs there are none.
the company noted that occasionally such trips are organised as associated product.
– For example, people come to raft on the river. If they have free time in the form of “side dish” to the main round offer shorter “the Diamond way”, – told in the tour Agency.
of Course, the second attempt to establish industrial tourism can be more successful. For this purpose, according to the Deputy Director-General of ASI Olga Zakharova, have in a short time to build a strong team, involved in business, public authorities and tour operators. She stressed that the value of any agreement that it should not remain on paper but be implemented. And the potential of the Republic, in her opinion, there is.
– I would Like to six months later, tourists were able to go to Yakutia to see how mined and processed diamonds, how does the coal industry and some large machines are used here, – said Olga Zakharova.
In the Amur region at desire it is possible to get on a tour of the Bureyskaya HPP. Travel companies offer these routes from Blagoveshchensk. And in Komsomolsk-on-Amur (Khabarovsk Krai) within the framework of the promotion of industrial tourism guests carry on the plants in the first place, aviation and shipbuilding. Annually they are visited by 12 to 15 thousand people. This year, the pandemic is a serious blow to the industry. But after some time, the demand for tours may increase: the city hall has plans to expand the list of companies that conduct tours. For example, it is going to enable furniture and other production.
