Strategic Tourism Development in the Jeti Oguz District, Kyrgyzstan

To support the tourism development of Jeti Oguz district, Samuel Maret was commissioned to introduce a structured tourism development model in collaboration with a local association and regional authorities. Since 2023, a comprehensive strategy and a Destination Management Organization (DMO) have been established. A detailed inventory identified over 100 tourist sites, 70 one-day tour options, and dozens of multi-day itineraries. The project is currently ongoing.

Building a tourism destination is not just about attracting visitors — it’s about empowering communities and protecting what makes this place special.
