Created by Sustain-Ability.Net Home The CBF Kyrgyzstan ... Contact Us International Guidelines for Sustainable Tourism in Kyrgyzstan The small mountainous country of Kyrgyzstan in the heart of Central Asia is distinctive for its pristine habitats and ancient culture. These are what attract many foreign and national visitors – but the habitats and culture are also vulnerable to disturbance by tourism itself. These guidelines have been produced in response to the rapid growth of tourism in Kyrgyzstan and the recognition of both the threat this may pose to the very resources that attract visitors, and the potential that tourism has to help conserve them. It is hoped the guidelines will provide a basis for approaches and behaviours which are likely to promote tourism which is sustainable with respect to the environment, culture and economy. These guidelines have been produced through collaboration between government, tourism businesses, NGOs and many others concerned about tourism in Kyrgyzstan. At present they are a voluntary code of conduct for tourists, tourism businesses, communities affected by tourism, and the government. We hope that by following these guidelines you can contribute to the long-term future of tourism, while maintaining the natural wealth of wildlife and culture in this remarkable country. Tourists Avoid actions which might damage the nature, culture, moral codes or important natural and cultural sites of the country.

69. Kyrgyzstan Human Development Report - Chapter 2 The economy of kyrgyzstan changed radically in the years of Soviet power.Manufacturing built. Science, literature and culture were developing. http://www.undp.org/rbec/nhdr/kyrgyzstan/chapter2.htm

CHAPTER 2 HISTORY, POPULATION, CULTURE Geopolitical Dynamics of the Kyrgyz Nation The Kyrgyz Estate is mentioned in the Chinese history as early as 201 B.C. but descriptions of the people are scant and sometimes contradictory. The geographic origin of the Kyrgyz is a matter of scientific debate; some believe they came from the banks of the Kyrgyz-Nur Lake in Mongolia, while others suggest that they first occupied the Boro-Horo mountain ridge in the eastern Tien-Shan mountains in China. It is believed that the ancient Kyrgyz state was established at the same time as the first Tun Turkic language Empire. Thus, the Kyrgyz were among the earliest people to develop the concept of a state. An early feudal state was established in the 4th and 5th centuries A.D. while the Kyrgyz were living in the Minusin basin along the Enisey river north of the present-day Kyrgyz Republic. The reputation of the rapidly developing and expanding Kyrgyz state spread beyond southern Siberia. One branch of the great silk road westward from China passed through modern Kyrgyzstan and was called the Kyrgyz way. During this time, many ethnic groups in the region were integrated into the Kyrgyz people. In 840 A.D. an army of 100,000 men under the leadership of the Kyrgyz attacked the ancient Uigur capital, Orhon, located in what is now Mongolia, occupied and destroyed it; the grand Uigur state was defeated. A Kyrgyz Khanate was created in its place, the boundaries of which extended from the Lake Baikal to the Irtish River and from the present Krasnoyarsk City to the great Chinese Wall. In the period of "Great Power" the empire of the Kyrgyz Khanate encompassed many non-Kyrgyz nations. The empire, however, did not last long; by the tenth century the Kyrgyz people had returned to the Enisey basin. Repeated attempts to establish statehood during the 10th and 11th centuries failed; local chiefs were unwilling to subordinate their authority to a central leader. In the 13th century the state splintered into a number of feudal estates that proved easy prey for the troops of Ghenghis Khan in 1207. In 1293 the Enisey Kyrgyz state was completely destroyed.

They went to God and asked if they too might have some land for their people, and God replied that he had none left. "But," he said, "since you are a kind and hard-working people, I will give you a small, but beautiful parcel of land I was saving for my dacha (a traditional holiday home in the countryside)." Now take a walk in God's Dacha through the eyes of the children of Kyrgyzstan as expressed in their art; through photographs of the everyday life of the country; and through the beautiful needlework, leatherwork, musical traditions and other products from the gifted hands of the Kyrgyz people.

Transversal topics Kyrgyzstan - the country Living in Post Soviet Kyrgyzstan Decreasing Natural Resources ... Publications Living in Post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan Nine years have passed since independence - Bishkek in summer 2000: a buoyant small capital, 800'000 inhabitants, smart street cafes, modern shops with imported Italian and Otto catalogue fashion, a mixed community of Kyrgyz, Russians, Koreans and Ukrainians strolling along the streets, a large community of expatriates, bazaars overflowing with sweet-smelling fruit and vegetables and imported Chinese and Pakistani products. Standing as it does, in front of the snow-capped Tien-Schan mountain range, Bishkek looks appealing to any foreign traveller. The average per capita income in Kyrgyzstan is 800 Som per month (approx. 16 USD), and the estimated minimum monthly consumption expenditure required for subsistence approx. 30 USD. How do people survive? Having more than one job is one possibility. The taxi driver who took me to the bazaar the other day told me he was a doctor and earned 600 Som at the hospital. Low-level corruption and unofficial "fees" are other ways of surviving, as widely practised among state officials. A 4-hour taxi drive from Karakol to Bishkek costs the taxi owner 400 soms in fees to policemen who threateningly wave their sticks to stop passing cars - victims of their unofficial income generation. Agriculture remains the central plank of the economy (43.3 % of GDP) and after years of negative gross output, output is on the increase. Livestock, fruit and vegetables, rice as well as cotton and tobacco are cash crops. The Kyrgyz living in rural areas growing their own vegetables and sheep are largely self-sufficient. Rural areas lack employment possibilities, and as a result purchasing power, the infrastructure and agricultural equipment are in decline.
