What do you think about the future of the Altay territory? I think that Altai is poor region on border with Kazakhstan which majority of inhabitants live in small villages. Earlier I did not know about Altai, but it has made upon me good impression. The city cares of the image a little. I have not seen on sale even cards with a townscape. Last years Altay territory increases international economic and cultural contact with foreign countries. Development of these communications – the main condition of formation of region`s image. All hope of development of these communications. Marko Igor

My suggestion: It is necessary to care more of advertising and branding a city and region in a kind more distributions of cards and other souvenirs which tourists could take away for memory. Specialty of Tourism The science and Geography Department Altay State Academy of Еducation Biysk Russia 2010
