The tourism industry in Russia is currently a promising development. One of the directions of its development is scientific tourism, which is not very popular, in contrast to the natural, cultural and educational areas. However, the analysis of theoretical and applied research in this area demonstrates some accumulated regional experience and significant potential. The purpose of the article is to analyze the possibilities for the development of scientific tourism in the Altai Territory and the Altai Republic using an interdisciplinary approach, based on the reconstruction of historical routes and their repetition to solve research goals and objectives. Mostly scientific tourism develops only in the format of field student practices. Despite the prospects of directions (ecological, geological, botanical, archaeological), scientific tourism among a wide audience is little popularized and practiced. Using the methods of historical science (historical analysis, concrete historical method), as well as the cartographic method and GIS technologies, the reconstruction of the routes of researchers who made scientific expeditions through the territories of the Altai Territory and the Altai Republic in the 18th — early 20th centuries was carried out. As a result, it was found that an interdisciplinary approach allows enriching the study, its results, attracting specialists from various fields, as well as tourists who are interested in specific scientific areas. In addition, this approach will make it possible to compare historical facts with newly discovered scientific discoveries, trace the development of processes and territories over two centuries, and also introduce the names of scientists who have made a significant contribution to the study of the territory in a historical context.
