The Fair and Sustainable Development Solutions (FSDS) Public Foundation, in collaboration with the Kyrgyz Association of Community-Based Tourism (KATOС) and "Hospitality Kyrgyzstan," provided equipment to local Community-Based Tourism (CBT) associations for further transfer to tourism service providers in order to enhance profitable, competitive, and sustainable rural tourism in the Jalal-Abad region.

This assistance was provided to 7 business projects under the project "Strengthening Rural Tourism in Jalal-Abad Region to Create Income Sources," implemented by FSDS and KATOС with the support of the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ).

As a result of the project, qualified and equipped local CBT associations and relevant service providers in Jalal-Abad will be able to improve the quality and quantity of the services they offer and collaborate with national tour operators, thus contributing to the development of local tourism.
