Abstract

Along with measures to improve the techniques, technology and organization of mining production, introduction of modern information systems are an important but underdeveloped area of activity of mining enterprises with the organization of industrial tours for review.

The use of high-efficiency equipment, measures for the protection of the natural environment, improving safety and production, its overall aesthetic quality, all contribute to the attraction of interest to review. Development of geotourism in turn, has a positive effect on economic growth, social and cultural development of the region, serves as an incentive to attract investment in mining production and upgrading local infrastructure.

Important the reciprocal process with mining companies aimed at recultivation of lands, damaged by mining operations. Simple recultivation (usually forestry) give way to action a broader scale - revitalization that is the conversion of disturbed lands to a form, more convenient for human life. It is expressed in many forms: the establishment of a water recreational areas in the place of residual mining quarry recesses; the device of cross and the ski runs on the spoils; the laying of trails in forest plantations; the installation of viewing platforms, etc.

 The effective result of this activity is the increased interest from different groups of people to the mountain production, presenting it in public opinion as the standard of aesthetic and technological process, model of system of ensuring environmental safety.
