4bn rubles is the financial yield from 150,000 tourists who visited Primorye Territory (Maritime Territory) last year. The authorities draw up new investment projects worth 26bn rubles.
      
      Some 140-150 thousand people visiting the region every year come from 50 countries, mainly from China, South and North Korea, Japan, Canada and the USA, reports RIA PrimaMedia.
      
      Local agencies offer environmentally friendly paths across the territory, hunting, fishing, diving and other adventures. The upcoming conservationists’ forum called Nature Without Borders will focus on preservation of forests, coastal and maritime areas, and natural resources.
