The development of the tourism sector is associated with an increase in the tourist flow and, as a result, an increase in the environmental burden on natural objects. Due to the current epidemiological situation in the country, the closure of external borders, the Altai region has become a “point of attraction” for tourists over the past two years. It is quite obvious that the issues of ecological tourism are currently very relevant for the region. The purpose of the work is to assess the prospects for the development of ecological tourism in the Altai region. Main results: the authors made the analysis of the state and ways of tourism industry development in the Altai region and justified the prospects for the development of ecological tourism in the Altai region.
