Development of small towns will help tourism
Yesterday Kargopole opened 10 All-Russian scientific and practical conference «County town of Russia: Historical and cultural processes and current trends».
At the forum brought together architects, art historians, university professors, representatives of organizations for the conservation of cultural heritage museum.
The purpose of the activity - discuss the formation and development of county-level cities, especially their culture and architecture.
The venue chosen by accident. As the scientists Kargopol can be called «the pearl of the Russian North». It is in this city survived White temples built in XVIII-XIX centuries, historical architectural ensembles. In Kargopolskom area are monuments survived until modern researchers, from the time of paganism. According to the head of information department Kargopolskogo Oksana Pesyakovoy museum, with an emphasis on the development of outbound tourism, it is possible to raise the economy of small towns. Large industrial enterprises in Kargopole not, but the tourist industry is developing rapidly: open guest houses, built the hotel complex.
Yelena Popova, Acting Deputy Chief Kargopolskogo district on social issues:
- At the end of the conference we will be developed together with Kargopolskim Museum Development Strategy - a project which will attract more tourists. All prerequisites for this exist. For example, in the village Poshevenskoe several years, local CBT is working on the development of rural tourism, set up guest houses, laid routes. This village - only in the field - to keep the unique northern land in full. But the problem is still in the fact that throughout the region there are no tourist company, which would be directly involved in the sale of tours, all working through intermediaries, which affects the price. We want to make a bid that is at a low-cost eco-tourism: horse riding routes, fishing. Intact landscapes, nature and hospitality of northern residents allow us to choose precisely this direction Kargopolskogo area.
