Research Beneficiaries / Stakeholders for Interviews 
 
There is a complex network of tourism stakeholders in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan operating at 
different levels, including public and private entities, and those who function as intermediaries 
versus direct service providers. These include:

ii) Businesses: 
o Service providers: accommodation, transport, restaurants, attraction operators, 
guides, event-companies; 
o Intermediaries in the tourism sector: tour operators and tour agents
o Tourism-focused associations. 
iii) Tourists: 

“Bilateral” tourists: Uzbek citizens visiting Kyrgyzstan and Kyrgyz citizens 
visiting Uzbekistan;
o International tourists: tourists visiting Uzbekistan and/or Kyrgyzstan from other 
countries (they included CAREC, CIS, CA countries and other groups).
iv) International organizations 
Possible Impact of the Study
(i) Enhanced regional cooperation policies between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, as well 
as national policies in tourism. 
(ii) Elimination of barriers. Elimination of barriers for cross-border tourism, such as visa 
regulations, border crossing regulations, etc..



(iii)Strengthened value chains and application of the findings to stakeholders’ practice. 
Businesses and other stakeholders will be able to streamline their operations and 
management practices based on the research findings.
(iv) Increased competitiveness of tourism businesses, particularly SMEs, resulting from 
strengthened and regionally integrated value chains. 
(v) Tourism facilitation. E.g. improved transport connectivity; synergy with the Belt and 
Road Initiative (BRI) to facilitate tourism in the region.
