Abstract: In 2012, the only Scientific Research Institute of Tourism in the Republic was established at the Turan University (Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan). Currently, the Institute is working on five scientific projects extended for many years. The goal of all projects is formulated in accordance with the global social goal of tourism, namely, increasing the duration and improving the quality of human life. Our Scientific Project "Saumal-Tour" pursues almost the same goal, but with some nuances. Namely, to maximally extend only the working period of people's lives (in our case, mountain guides of older ages, 50 years and older) without a list of age-associated diseases and helplessness. The value of the conducted research is that it eliminates the contradiction between the increase (with age) of professional experience of mountain guides and the decrease in their health and working capacity. The practical significance of the results of our work is that the number of experienced mountain guides is preserved for as long as possible in the ranks of active ones, and this in turn creates significant savings on their training and retraining. Experts from Max Planck University believe that human life expectancy depends directly on the level of intelligence. Scientists claim that over the past 100 years, life expectancy has increased by 2%. Researchers believe that one of the main reasons for this is the development of intellectual abilities.
