"In Moscow educational institutions, tourism is one of the most important components of additional education and extracurricular activities. The city has created a network of support teams in all inter-district organizations of all districts in recent years. The number of tourism programs for children and participants in the city tourism projects has been growing. One can hardly imaging how the tourism system can develop without local lore programs, " noted Dmitry Morgun, Director of the Moscow Children and Youth Center for Ecology, Local History and Tourism.
