Not long ago we brought to your attention Soviet advertising posters, whose design was developed by the Intourist organization specifically to attract foreign travelers. How did the domestic tourism industry develop at that time?
The Soviet tourist movement begins in the early 20s of the last century. Then the first tourist organization was created - the Bureau of School Excursions of the People's Commissariat of Education and a huge amount of work was done to involve the population in tourist trips and to develop a network of tourist bases and routes. By 1940, over 165 tourist centers and camps had been created on the territory of most socialist republics, most of which were destroyed in 1941-1945. After the Great Patriotic War, the USSR government continued propaganda activities related to the development of the domestic tourist movement, and in 1950-1960. These stylish advertising posters were released, whose slogans still remain relevant today.
