Uzbekistan fast becoming hub of eco-tourism in Central Asian region

AKIPRESS.COM - Uzbekistan, at the heart of Central Asia, is fast becoming a hub of eco-tourism and not just histortical attraction, The Economic Times reported.

Nature and climate of the country give a huge scope for eco-tourism from deserts to mountains to glaciers and much more. Eco-tourism opportunities in Uzbekistan are diverse and rich - Ugham Chatkal State Natural Park, riparian forests in the delta of the Amu Darya River, the region of “environmental disaster” in the Aral Sea, desert terrain and the Kyzyl Kum desert, mountain and lake Nuratin Aydarkul in Farish district of Jizzakh region. Desert and steppe and mountain regions to this day preserve cultural and historical features of traditional life in Nurata district of Navoi area.

The government of Uzbekistan in fact has brought in an act – ‘Ecological Movement of Uzbekistan’ to promote eco-tourism.

Eco-tourism as an active form of recreation, based on the sustainable use of natural goods, promotes conservation and improves the welfare of local people. The main goal of ecotourism is a picture of the natural, cultural and ethnographic characteristics of the area where it does not violate the integrity of the ecosystem and create an economic environment in which the conservation of nature and natural resources is beneficial to the local population.
