2023: Tourist flow doubled in a year

The number of tourists visiting the Republic of Buryatia in 2023 has doubled compared to the previous year. According to the Ministry of Tourism of the region, the growth in tourist flow was 46% compared to the same period in 2022. A significant increase was made possible thanks to state support measures implemented within the framework of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality Industry," initiated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to the Minister of Tourism of Buryatia Aldar Dorzhiev, the republic occupies a leading position in the Far East in terms of the amount of financial support received from the federal budget. In particular, in 2023, 18 entrepreneurs in the region received grants totaling more than ₽460 million to create modular hotels in key tourist areas - Tunkinsky, Pribaikalsky, Barguzinsky and Kabansky. The construction of these facilities is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024.

Ulan-Ude

According to the official portal of the Republic of Buryatia, state support had a significant impact on the development of tourism infrastructure in the republic. In 2023, more than ₽330 million were distributed for the implementation of 77 different tourism projects. Among them are the improvement of seven beach areas, the creation of 15 information centers, as well as the implementation of 38 projects for the purchase of tourist equipment. These initiatives made it possible to significantly increase the level of tourist service and convenience for guests of the republic.

In addition, Ulan-Ude, the capital of Buryatia, acquired its tourist code, which contributes to the further promotion of the city as a tourist center. One of the events of 2023 was the holding of the republican sports and cultural holiday Naadan Surkharbaan, which was supported by a federal subsidy as part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Buryatia. The holiday was held in 22 municipalities and included such events as the Yokhora Festival, Beauty Contest and Bouza Festival, which gathered about 100 thousand participants and guests.[1]

History

3.5 million hp: Thin-bodied apes parapresbitis weighing more than 30 kg

Monkey-like monkeys from the family of thin-bodied monkeys lived in the frame of oz. Baikal on the Khambinsky ridge (the location of Udung in Western Transbaikalia in Buryatia) more than 3.5 million years ago. The study of the morphology of the teeth and skull of monkeys from the Khambinsky ridge was the first discovery of fossils of monkeys in Russia. This made it possible to isolate a new genus of monkey-like monkeys Parapresbytis, and the re-study of the remains of a thin monkey from the late Pliocene of Northern Mongolia showed the eligibility to classify them into a new genus and species of the Colobidae family - Parapresbytis eohanuman, which has morphological similarities with the modern genus [2]

The locations of the Pliocene mammalian fauna framed by Lake Baikal, containing the remains of monkey-like monkeys (Parapresbytis eohanuman): 1 - Udunga (Khambinsky Ridge, Western Transbaikalia, Early Pliocene), 2 - Shamar (valley of the Orkhon River, Northern Mongolia, Late Pliocene)

Parapresbitis were large monkeys weighing more than 30 kg, comparable in size to a bear baboon. On the northern edge of Central Asia, P. eohanuman apparently occupied territories with habitable landscapes and, as a sister gulman (Presbytis entellus), lived in trees and fed on leaves, flowers and fruits. Thin-bodied monkeys (P. eohanuman) along with other mammals at the end of the early Pliocene occupied ecological niches in mountain forests with vertical zonation, this distribution confirms the composition of the flora. Range close in morphology to parapresbitis of modern Himalayan nosed thin bowls (Rhinopithecus), covering montane forests with pronounced vertical zonality, does not refute this assumption.
