In particular, within the framework of the project, it is planned to create two national tourist routes - "West BAM" and "East BAM".

Irkutsk land is rich in unusual museums, creative public spaces, interesting and informative industrial sites, unique natural monuments," the agency quotes its head Evgenia Naidenova.
