Abstract
In recent decades, the scientific and educational tourism has grown in popularity. The experience gained in field trips and expeditions around Western Mongolia suggests that this area has diverse natural conditions, interesting and unique monuments of nature and archeology including a high potential for making research and educational excursions. The analysis of current and perspective trends of recreational flow in Khovd aimag, Western Mongolia allows to identify five basic spatial-thematic routes combined into two groups. The first group caters for a wide range of tourists. It includes routes through high mountain ranges of the Mongolian Altai with its modern glaciation centers; natural and historical-archaeological sites in semi-deserts and protected areas distinguished by different natural conditions. The second group involves two routes for specialists in the field of natural sciences. They include visits to the Khara-Us-Nur ecosystem the biggest Great Lakes Basin as well as natural and archaeological sites nearby town of Khovd. The routes referred to the 1st group are considered by the example of semi-deserts. Thematically, all tourist sites are represented by the following classes: I пїЅ historical and archaeological complexes, II пїЅ landscape complexes and monuments, III пїЅ landscape-historical complexes. The objects of the 2nd group located near Khovd are considered by their genesis. For instance, they include mineral deposits, basic stratigraphic and geological sections; tectonic forms of a relief, picturesque rocks emerged due to external geological processes, as well as monuments of the archaeological complex.
