The parliamentarians identified the approaches to increasing the effectiveness of state policy and creating an enabling environment for the development of Kyrgyzstan’s tourism industry.
Urging to pay attention to the mechanisms used by Georgia and Turkey to promote their tourism potential in other countries, the parliamentarians proposed to use these mechanisms to develop a modern tourism infrastructure in Kyrgyzstan.
It was noted that Kyrgyzstan has a potential for developing mountain, extreme and pilgrimage tourism, however, no effective work is being done to promote and develop them.
A parliamentarian Kamila Taliyeva proposed to pay special attention to promoting eco-tourism in Kyrgyzstan, noting that an integrated approach needed to be used to develop tourism.
