The project of free excursions organized by the Tourist Information Center of the Primorye (Visit Primorye) together with the Ministry of Tourism of the Primorsky Territory, is successfully implemented from 2018. All walking walks and lectures were held with the participation of professional guides of the section of local history and excursion studies of the Primorsky regional branch of the Russian Geographical Society - the Society for the Study of the Amur Region (PKO RGO-OIAC).  

"Excursions in local history play an important role in the formation of people's deep understanding of the history, culture and nature of their region. They help not only to expand knowledge about local history and sights, but also develop patriotism, pride in their small homeland, and contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage. Conducting such excursions contributes to strengthening the connection of a person with his native land, forms respect for the environment and stimulates interest in the study of history and nature. In the modern world, when many aspects of life are becoming global, it is important to preserve and transfer knowledge about your region for future generations, said Anastasia Povetkina, Deputy Head of the Tourism and Information Department of the Tourist and Information Center of the Primorsky Territory (Visit Primorye).
