The GEF Small Grants Programme

in Uzbekistan

Ecological and rural tourism

PMGEF has little experience in environmental or rural tourism. We have only 3 projects in this regard: a project with the Jeyron Eco-Center, a project in the village of Quruqsay and a project in the Forish district of Jizzakh region. However, Uzbekistan does not have much experience in this area. Therefore, any experience is important now. With this in mind, Uzbektourism organized a forum on this topic and invited all organizations involved in one way or another in eco and rural tourism. We were also invited.

Alexei Volkov, PMGEF National Coordinator in Uzbekistan, spoke about the experience and challenges.
