The work makes an attempt to estimate development of tourist-recreational area on an example of the Altai-Sayan region. Frame approach and geo-information me#thod are used as a methodical basis of the research. Authors develop the GIS-project #Tourist-recreational resources and tourism at the Altai-Sayan region#. As a result the researchers received maps illustrating an infrastructure of tourist-recreational development which have allowed them to establish laws of territorial organization of the tourist-recreational area at the Altai-Sayan region.

Key words: tourist-recreational area, basic skeleton, GIS-technologies, operational hexagonal cells, weighing and mapping the system of parameters of highland.
