The purpose of the article is to determine the impact of the combination of saumal consumption, physical exertion and staying in the middle mountains on the human body. Saumal or fresh mare's milk is an excellent alternative to cow's milk when feeding children or the elderly. The therapeutic properties of mare's milk were used by the ancestors of the Kazakh people 5 thousand years ago. The article provides data on the dosed use of saumal in combination with physical exertion and staying in the middle mountains for 5 years in order to improve the health of older athletes. The research methodology is based on the analysis of tourist and medical literature, system analysis, and also includes a stating experiment. The project is based on a combination of the therapeutic and health-improving potential of the climate of the Middle mountains, technologies of sports and health tourism and ancient traditions of the peoples of Central Asia on the use of saumal. The accumulated experience allows us to draw the following conclusions: 1) as a person stays in mid-mountain conditions, the body's resistance to a lack of oxygen increases, people's well-being improves, body functions stabilize, and efficiency increases; 2) all participants in the collection significantly reduced their weight, blood pressure and heart rate leveled off to the age norm; 3) the working capacity has significantly increased; 4) the prophylactic efficacy of Saumal and the restorative potential for aged athletes who had suffered a stroke and heart attack were revealed; 5) in the process of using saumal, the intellectual activity of the participants increases.

The relevance of the statistic is amazed by the economic problems of the galusies themselves, due to the coronavirus infection COVID 19, which put on the order of the day the need for a glance at the traditional forms of organizing high prices and for tourism before tourism. It is stated in the statute that there is no fate at the link with the pandemic of travel to mass mandates, which has changed by an order of magnitude, but the task of not only developing new tourist routes, but preserving the health of tourists has become urgent. In connection with the cim, the market of health tourism has become aware of global changes, and the traditional sanatorium-and-spa mortgages and resorts are ceasing to be a miracle of health and wellness in the minds of the kidnapped health tourism center. Such a transformation of resort centers is zoomed in by the changing character of drinking and health services and the challenge of the need for a healthy way of life. More and more people will try to avoid adopting a physical form and may be required by anti-stress programs that have suffered from a disease caused by a pandemic. It is important that people of the middle age, as they make an active change, and are often surrounded by an hour.

The Health system in Spain is considered one of the most valued public services by the population. In fact, during the first decade of the 21st century, Spain became a health tourism destination for people from central and northern European countries. In addition to the health infrastructure, the quality of medical and nursing care stands out. Something similar also happens with the Spanish pharmaceutical system. However, there are some characteristics that should be addressed from a Geography perspective. The pharmacies’ legal system does not consider them to be of public interest. One is when some of the main activities are the sale and distribution of medicines that are partially paid for by the Administration, that is, Social Security. In the same activity, the public function is combined with the private interests of the pharmacy owners to provide a balanced territorial service. One of the conclusions demonstrates how the borders that are sometimes created by the Administration are not always the most efficient in relation to the characteristics of the territory, nor do they provide the best service to the population and, therefore, create territorial imbalances within a country. To reach our conclusions, we carried out an exhaustive study of the pharmacy legislation in the EU and in Spain, as well as Geography of Health and theories of territorial location. We combined this information with statistics on the territorial characteristics of Spain. This allowed us to confirm the peculiarities that exist within the governance of the distribution of pharmacy offices in Spain.

Due to the modern economic situation shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, entrepreneurial activity significantly depleted in all spheres of the economy not only in Russia but across the world. However, there are some industrial spheres the development of which did not stop completely despite being restrained by the COVID-19 pandemic. The industry of children’s tourism having suffered certain understandable changes continues to function since the industry of children’s recreation is directly connected to a child’s development and adaptation in society, their socialization which generates the need for the development of this industry, as well as the need of society and parents for the organization of children’s recreation, leisure, and tourism. The article presents a study of organizational and economic factors of the development of tourism for primary school children in Russia both before the COVID-19 pandemic and in the post-pandemic conditions. The need and demand of society for the development of these services – the children’s recreation industry – is revealed.

This paper studies the integrated development of forest health tourism under the background of Rural Revitalization Strategy. Based on the tourism destination life cycle theory, tourism destination competitiveness theory and experience economy theory, this paper uses the linear function weighting method to establish a measurable evaluation standard of forest health development potential. This paper constructs the evaluation index system of forest health tourism development potential through Delphi method, determines the index weight combined with analytic hierarchy process, and establishes a practical comprehensive scoring model and evaluation grade. This paper uses the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to evaluate the development potential of forest health tourism in three forest health bases: DWS National Forest Park, FJS National Nature Reserve and LYS National Forest Park.

Digital-Health Tourism Innovation (DTI) worldwide is in its infancy due to the emergent of coronavirus (COVID-19) disease. With the growth of open geometa data, use of government electronic services including electronic health (e-health), electronic commerce (e-commerce) and mobile health (m-health), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning strategies. Health and primary healthcare sectors are currently adopting these innovations for socio-economic wellbeing. Digital-health (also termed as e-health) is part of digital tourism innovation. Adapting geometa data profiling to develop a digital-health tourism framework for Primary Healthcare Workers (PHWs) to use mobile health technologies in COVID-19 vaccination trials are the key challenges of this study. Nevertheless, digital health tourism skills have been launched in developing Nations that created thousands of jobs to protect digital tourism businesses from potential vulnerabilities. Despite the benefits of this novel innovation, its deployment and implementation have been treated by inadequate of ICT facilities, lack of geometa data pre-processing to remove noise, data integrity, insufficient of academic research fundings, and reliable research methodology beyond COVID-19 vaccination trials to highlight these aspects. Therefore, qualitative, and quantitative research methods using Precaution Adoption Model Process (PAMP) questionnaire are employed to enable new ways of pre-processing behavior intention factors items. Eight academic researchers who were conversant with digital health technology validated 28 behavior intention factors with average factor loading values of 50% to 75%. Pilot survey conducted among 700 respondents from March 18, 2020, to September 10, 2021, among them are undergraduate students that may use this technology for research purposes. Pre-processed geometa data have shown percentage frequency counts of internet access and other online services 8% to 95%, adapted training factors 49% to 92% and factor items 34% to 78.3% for hypothesis generation towards development of digital health tourism framework in finding explanation to COVID-19 economic challenges. Except behavior intention factors and factor items insights are known and mapped, mobile health technology design process may result in poor conclusions. Thus, patients recovered from COVID-19 infection can still be infected again.
