Sanya tourism promoted in Kyrgyzstan, direct air route expected

In an effort to further explore the tourism market in central Asia and raise the awareness of Sanya and its tourism products, a Sanya tourism delegation visited Kyrgyzstan on April 15th, 2019.

Chen Guangfa, Deputy Director of the Sanya Tourism Culture Radio Television and Sports Bureau, visited Travel Shop, the largest travel operators in Kyrgyzstan. The delegation carried out discussion with Toktaliyev Talant, General Manager of Travel Shop.

Toktaliyev Talant introduced Kyrgyzstan’s main tourism products, citizens’ preference destinations, tourism consumption habits, and thanked the Sanya delegation for coming to Kyrgyzstan for tourism promotion. He said that many Kyrgyzstan residents are looking forward to traveling to Sanya, however, there is no direct flights to Sanya till now. He hoped that this situation could be changed through the efforts of the government departments of both sides.

A Sanya tourism promotion event was held at the Hyatt Regency Bishkekin Hotel in the afternoon of April 15th, 2019. Nearly 100 guests, including local travel operators, representatives of tourism associations, and media members were in attendance.

The event promoted Sanya’s unique natural tourism resources, emerging tourism projects, and international brand hotel resources through brochures, PPT, and ethnic dance performance. Sanya’s distinctive tourism products and convenient visa-free policies were highlighted.

Kyrgyz Republic has become Sanya’s emerging tourist source market thanks to the Sanya-Almaty direct air route. The promotion event aimed at enhancing the recognition of Sanya and its tourism products among Kyrgyzstan tourists.
