Bortala is confident of bringing in tourists with its unique geographical resources. It boasts Saryam Lake, nicknamed the last tear in the Atlantic Ocean, Aibi Lake, the largest salt lake in Xinjiang, Xarxili Nature Reserve,and Wenquan County, which means “hot spring” in Chinese, as the county is rich in hot springs. The prefecture is also home to Xinjiang salamanders, a live fossil level species that can be traced back to ancient times.

博州对于推广旅游也是信心满满。境内有很多独特资源，如国家4A级风景名胜区、被称为大西洋最后一滴眼泪的赛里木湖；我国西北重要生态屏障，新疆最大的咸水湖艾比湖；还有中国西部最后一片净土、亚欧物种过渡地、珍稀植物基因库夏尔希里；以及以温泉而闻名的温泉县。博州还是“活化石”新疆鲵的栖息地。
