The manager of the project, the representative of the consulting company working on the development of the project Evgeny Fix, in turn said that the participants of the project, first of all, assessed all the parts of the region to determine the tourism potential of each of them.
“The evaluation was carried out according to the following criteria: tourist resources available in districts and cities, institutional and related resources. Kostanay, Rudny, Lisakovsk, Mendikarinsk, Altynsarinsk districts have the highest potential for tourism attraction,” said Fix.
