"In recent years, young people stopped to be interested in tourism, especially home. Unfortunately, not always the conditions favor the development of such activities. Hiking, rafting, walking tourism and spending the night on the nature became a forgotten romance, which was appreciated and supported by our parents. In this regard, the aim of our project is the development of the student active water tourism and promotion of cultural and historical sites of Kazakhstan", - says Aliya.
