Постановление Правительства Кыргызской Республики от 31 января 2019 года N 36 “Об утверждении Программы Правительства Кыргызской Республики развития сферы туризма на 2019-2023 годы”

Сфера туризма является одной из приоритетных и экспортно-ориентированных отраслей экономики Кыргызской Республики. Программа Правительства Кыргызской Республики развития сферы туризма на 2019-2023 годы (далее - Программа) отражает современные мировые тенденции в сфере туризма и текущую ситуацию в туристской индустрии республики.

Принимая во внимание динамичный рост туризма в современном мире, его ощутимое мультипликативное воздействие на другие секторы экономики, благосостояние общества и окружающую среду, туристическая отрасль Кыргызской Республики в перспективе должна стать одним из приоритетных направлений развития экономики страны.

В Программе и в Плане мероприятий большое внимание уделено социально-экономическому развитию регионов страны, которые являются локомотивом развития туристической отрасли. Учитывая актуальность развития регионов, Программа направлена, прежде всего, на повышение уровня жизни населения и реализацию его возможностей, на устойчивость и воспроизводство окружающей среды, на расширение многообразия культурных форм жизни на местах.

2019 год Президентом Кыргызской Республики Жээнбековым С.Ш. объявлен Годом развития регионов и цифровизации страны, в соответствии с которым Программой уделяется внимание цифровизации сферы туризма и дальнейшему продвижению туристических возможностей страны, а также основным направлениям Национальной стратегии развития Кыргызской Республики на 2018-2040 годы.

Definitions

According to the Kyrgyz Law on Tourism, tourism is the temporary departure (travel) of citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic, foreign citizens or stateless persons (hereinafter referred to as ‘citizens’) outside their permanent place of residence for recreational, educational, professional, business, sports, religious and other purposes without engaging in remunerated activities in the country (place) of temporary residence.

Concepts

Sustainable tourism means sustainable economy, social responsibility, and environmental safety in tourism activities, which means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Tourism activities means activities of tour operators and travel agencies, as well as any other travel arrangements. Tourism product is a set of services provided to citizens (tourists). Actors of tourism activity include enterprises, institutions, agencies regardless of their forms of ownership, or individuals registered according to the law of the Kyrgyz Republic. Tour operator activity - activity on formation, promotion and sale of tourist product carried out by legal entity or individual entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as tour operator). Travel agent activity means promoting or selling tourism product by legal entity or individual entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as a travel agent);

Rationale and interpretation

In general, recommendations on sustainable tourism development, as well as sustainable development management practices apply to all forms of tourism in all types of destinations, including including mass tourism and the various tourism subsectors. Sustainability principles refer to the environmental, economic and sociocultural dimensions of tourism development, and a balance needs to be maintained between these three dimensions to guarantee long-term sustainability. Tourism in the Kyrgyz Republic is one of the priority and export-oriented sectors of the country’s economy. Sustainable tourism primarily addresses sociocultural, environmental and economic issues through:

  • Preserving cultural values and the identity of the nation, thus bringing the peoples of the world together;
  • Optimizing the use of natural resources, which are the backbone of tourism development;
  • Sustainable employment for local people, thereby contributing to the economic empowerment of local people and poverty reduction. The tourism sector in the Kyrgyz Republic is growing steadily. By 2023, the contribution of tourism to GDP will reach 7 per cent.
Method of computation

Number of arriving tourists, GDP, tax revenues, number of business entities is computed based on the data of the National Statistical Committee of the Kyrgyz Republic, State Border Service of the Kyrgyz Republic, and in line with the classification of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).

Comments and limitations

When counting the number of tourists, the National Statistical Committee mainly focuses on the organizational sector of recreation and tourism. Unorganized/informal vacation of foreign tourists, as well as domestic tourists is very popular. In this regard, the total number of tourists is much higher than the National Statistical Committee data.
