The 1913 Regional congress of rural owners in Vernyi as an object of excursion display

Abstract

The article examines the historical events associated with the 1913 regional congress of rural owners held in Vernyi (now Almaty) in the context of their use in modern excursion activities. Particular attention is paid to the issue of the reliability of excursion content and the need to rely on archival and museum sources when preparing informational materials for tourists. The authors aim to analyze historical and cultural material related to the development of Almaty (Vernyi) in the early 20th century and to adapt it for use in excursion and local history activities. The study employs methods of analyzing archival documents, historical sources, and local history materials, as well as their systematization and adaptation for excursion practice. As a result of the research, a reconstruction of the social, economic, and cultural life of Vernyi in the early 20th century has been achieved, which makes it possible to expand the content of excursion routes and enhance their educational value. The obtained materials can be used in the practical activities of tourism organisations as well as in the educational process.
