According to the forecast of Rosstat, by 2030 the number of elderly people will increase by 4.8 million people. The program “Active longevity” operates in the national project: older citizens have the opportunity to spend their leisure time pleasantly and informatively — they go in for sports, attend clubs, become volunteers. And the summer time is conducive to outdoor activities, interesting excursions and communication, which merged together in the project «Social tourism».

Excursion trips to sights are organized by the Chuvash regional branch of the Russian Union of Veterans and the Comprehensive Centers for Social Services. The trip is for one day. In the morning, a group of 10-20 people gather in the morning on the bus, which in the evening, after the tour, takes them to the complex center. They go to places that delight the eye and soul. For example, this is the stunning Cape “Bird's Flight”; Kozlovki. The height of the highest point above the Volga in the territory of Chuvashia — over 190 meters. The spirit is captivating!
