Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyzstan, officially the Kyrgyz Republic, also known as Kirghizia, is a landlocked country in Central Asia. Kyrgyzstan has made efforts to develop community-based tourism in recent years. As a result, participants adopted resolutions with a main point to join efforts of people working in community-based tourism in Osh and Naryn provinces into associations in order to address the challenges in the field of tourism. In addition, the participants developed recommendations for the Department of Tourism at the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and information on the development of this type of tourism.
