These factors include: the position on the shore of Lake Baikal, relative transport accessibility, the development of infrastructure, both recreational and creating the preconditions for organized recreation, the territorial proximity of China as the largest tourist market; proximity to the Irkutsk region and the proximity of Listvyanka village – one of the most visited by tourists in the Irkutsk region; adjacent position in relation to the regions of the Republic of Buryatia (Tunkinsky, Pribaikalsky), which have their own attractive objects for tourists, which can be visited within the same tour with the objects of the Slyudyansky region. The natural conditions of the Slyudyansky district are diverse, it contains objects of various types – zoological, botanical, speleological, hydrological, paleontological, geomorphological, landscape, geological, which favors the development of various types of educational tourism. On the territory of the region there are objects with which sports (mountaineering, skiing) and sports tourism are associated. A special role in attracting tourists is played by the landscape and architectural complex of the Circum-Baikal Railway and the Sobolinaya Mountain ski resort, which provide a year-round influx of tourists to the Slyudyansky District. Natural, historical and cultural attractions of the Slyudyansky region are brands of the Irkutsk region, which makes them especially significant. Most of the explored recreational resources of the region are not developed and are not involved in the system of ecological tourism in the Irkutsk region. Objects of attraction for tourists require the arrangement of the territory, taking into account natural and legal restrictions.
