Abstract
Recently, much attention has been paid by scientists from different countries to the issues of tourist environmental management. The kumis therapy development, being a historically established direction of medical tourism, is promising in the steppe regions. When analyzing the history of the development of kumis therapy in the former USSR, it was revealed that after the collapse of the USSR, an organized network of kumis treatment centers ceased to exist. Original maps reflect historical aspects and modern geography of sanatorium with kumis treatment. Most of them are located in the forest-steppe and steppe zones. The paper considers the steppe region of Russia the Orenburg region promising for the development of kumis treatment in connection with a suitable dry steppe climate, the development of horse breeding and the possibilities of landscape therapy. The paper notes the appropriateness of the further development of kumis treatment and the modernization of kumis treatment centers in the Orenburg region.
Highlights
The consumption of kumis in food is considered the European trend in healthy eating
It is believed that kumis medical hospitals, that are located in the steppe zone, has a particular value, because they are combining the healing properties of the arid steppe climate and a fermented milk drink [5]
A few years later, several kumis treatment centers appeared in the Samara, Ufa and Orenburg provinces
Summary
The consumption of kumis in food is considered the European trend in healthy eating. It is believed that kumis began to be used in Europe more than 40 years ago due to the emergence of the dairy farm in Germany (Waldbrunn, Odenwald district). It is considered one of the largest in Europe (400 horses). It was founded by a German veterinarian, who gained experience in organizing kumis treatment in the USSR, where he lived for 8 years. In addition to the drink, kumis powder and cosmetic products based on kumis are produced at its horse farm. Today in Germany there are about 40 dairy farms [1,2]
