The delegation included representatives from the Altay regional tourism associations, travel agencies and art studios, pharmaceutical companies and health resort facilities of the region.

We are proud to announce that our travel agency “GOTO Altay” was a member of the delegation of Altay region. CEO Elena Voytenko shares her impressions about the exhibition: "We are participating as exhibitors for the first time and, I would say, quite succesful. Altay is a new region for travelling, but very attractive among tourists seeking new directions and, which is more important, another level of emotions. It is not that when you easily get comfort in a 3-star hotel somewhere in Egyptian or Turkey beaches. It is something of another kind - true, wild and challenging. Such kind of travelers were quite frequent guests at our stand, I would say. The most active people were from Germany, Poland, Turkey and Switzerland. And Russians are still continuing to discover the remoted parts of the vast Russian country as our Altay".
