"Establishing a high-quality alpine skiing industry complex would mean building comfortable hotels and a network of roads in the mountains, which all cost additional than in the flatlands," said Mikhail Halitov, director of the NGO Mountain Cluster Association, an umbrella group of travel agencies specialising in alpine tourism.
Kyrgyz tourism has traditionally been a summertime matter restricted to the Lake Issyk-Kul area, which accounts for additional than half of the country's annual tourism business, a recent study found.
A lack of investment has kept the country from taking chance of its splendid mountainous landscape and other natural potential, specialists say.
