#180: Where the Tourists are

Not in Kyrgyzstan! Another bad news for us. We lag behind not only in education (see previous post), but also in attracting tourists. According to the World Economic Forum's Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report 2008, Kyrgyzstan is on the 113th place. Only Tajikistan from CIS at 114th is behind us, while the rest are ahead: Kazakhstan 91st, Uzbekistan 90th, Armenia 89th, Azerbaijan 79th, Ukraine 77th, Georgia 72nd, and Russia 64th. This ranking is based on three categories: regulations, infrastructure, and human, cultural, and natural resources. Kyrgyzstan is 90th on regulations (KZ 61st, UZB 64th, TJ 102nd), 128th on infrastructure (KZ 96th, UZB 98th, TJ 126th) and 102nd on cultural, human, and natural resources (UZB 101st, TJ 111th, KZ 112th).

So, another disappointment for Kyrgyz government. Fortunately for them though, the Kyrgyz press has not picked up on the education and tourism rankings. But, I am sure coming, after everyone gets overs from the March 8th celebrations, the Kyrgyz media will throw these rankings at the government's face.
