KIRGIZİSTAN’DA TURİZMİN GELİŞMESİNDEKİ ENGELLER

Bu çalışmada Kırgızistan turizminin gelişmesine etki eden engeller tartışılmıştır. Bu engelleri ortaya koyabilmek için Kırgız turizm endüstrisi incelenmiştir. Bu inceleme sonucunda ortaya çıkan bulgulara göre Kırgızistan’ın özellikle kış ve macera turizmi olmak üzere büyük bir turizm potansiyeline sahip olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Bir başka bulgu ise Issık Göl Orta Asya’nın merkezinde Kırgızistan için resort turizm potansiyeli sunmaktadır. Kırgızistan turizm potansiyeline sahip olmakla beraber bu potansiyelin değerlendirilmesine etki eden birtakım engeller mevcuttur. Bu engeller şunlardır; turizmin mevsimsellik özelliği göstermesi, kısıtlı pazar, nitelikli personel eksikliği, yeterli sayıda modern konaklama işletmelerinin olmaması. Çalışmanın son bölümünde bu engellerle baş etmek için birtakım öneriler ortaya konmuştur

OBSTACLES TO THE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN KYRGYZSTAN

This study aims to discuss main obstacles to the tourism development in Kyrgyzstan. In this study the Kyrgyz tourism industry has been examined. It is found that Kyrgyzstan has a great tourism potential especially for winter and adventure tourism. Moreover, the country has also potential for resort tourism with its beautiful Issık Kul Lake in the middle of Central Asia. Analysis of tourism development shows that although the country has potential for tourism development, there are obstacles for this development. These are seasonality of tourism, limited market, shortages of qualified human resources, lack of sufficient number of modern accommodation establishments and political unrest. The study concludes with a number of recommendations to overcome these barriers
