Abstract
Among the priority areas of international cooperation, environmental activities and the environmental imperative can be distinguished, which is directly reflected in the development of networks of specially protected natural areas (SPNA) of bordering countries, represented by various forms of organization of environmental institutions (biosphere reserves, nature reserves, national and natural parks, wildlife sanctuaries, etc.). International transboundary territories can often include objects of environmental protection and conservation of biological and landscape diversity of border regions, in particular, transboundary SPNA. The article deals with the organization of transboundary tourist areas in the Altai, including environmental institutions – transboundary conservation and tourist territories (TCTT). As an example, the transboundary biosphere reserve "Great Altai" on the basis of the State Natural Biosphere Reserve "Katunsky" (Russia, Altai Republic) and Katon-Karagay State National Natural Park (Kazakhstan, East-Kazakhstan region) is given. It is proposed to organize SPNA in the Russian-Kazakh border area of the Western Altai – Altai Krai (Russia) and East-Kazakhstan Region (Kazakhstan). Analyzed and evaluated the natural and tourist potential and protected areas of the region for the organization of SPNA in Western Altai.
Highlights
The development of international and domestic tourism in Russia necessitates the formation of the concept of new territorial touristrecreational systems (TTRS), as well as TTRS of new forms of spatial organization of tourist-recreational activities (Popova & Podosenova, 2014)
According to (Prigranichnye..., 2011), an international transboundary territory is understood as a territory consisting of interacting border territories adjacent to the state border of two or more neighboring countries and possessing combinations of natural resources and various types of economic activity, with a single geosystem or a combination of two or more regional geosystems interacting in the state border zone being the natural basis
From the perspective of new forms of spatial organization of tourist and recreational activities, the transboundary biosphere reserve The Greater Altai should be considered as a transboundary conservation and tourism territory (TCTT), i.e., the territory of neighboring countries, which is adjacent to the state border, having certain combinations of natural resources, which are both conservation objects (SPNA) and objects of ecological and educational tourism interest
Summary
The development of international and domestic tourism in Russia necessitates the formation of the concept of new territorial touristrecreational systems (TTRS), as well as TTRS of new forms of spatial organization of tourist-recreational activities (Popova & Podosenova, 2014) These include territorial conservation and tourism systems, or conservation and tourism territories, organized with the inclusion of protected natural areas in tourism activities (Rotanova, 2015a). From the perspective of new forms of spatial organization of tourist and recreational activities, the transboundary biosphere reserve The Greater Altai should be considered as a transboundary conservation and tourism territory (TCTT), i.e., the territory of neighboring countries, which is adjacent to the state border, having certain combinations of natural resources, which are both conservation objects (SPNA) and objects of ecological and educational tourism interest
