- 1962, American Geographical Society of New York, Occasional Publication, volume 1:
- One of the most complex forms of tourism is alpinism, the opportunities for which are truly unlimited in the USSR. The six- and seven-thousand meter summits of the Pamir-Alay and the Central Tyan'-Shan', the five-thousand meter summits of the Caucasus, the very high snow-capped mountains of Kamchatka, the multitude of summits of alpinistic class exceeding 4,000 meters in the mountains of the Altay, the Northern and Western Tyan'-Shan'—such is the field of activity for summit-climbing alpinists.
- 1982, IGU Working Group, Geography of Tourism and Recreation, Alpinism and Tourism and Other Problems of the Geography of Tourism:
- If we continue further east, we come to a region where we find all the modern forms of alpinistic tourism and where alpinism really started a larger scale tourism: the Himalayas.
