During an interactive event organised by the Kyrgyz Embassy in Delhi for the tourism fraternity, His Excellency Asein Isaev, Ambassador of the Kyrgyz Republic to India, said that there is a lot of potential of growing tourism in Kyrgyzstan and around its beautiful cities and destinations.

“We are working on establishing Kyrgyz Republic destinations for tourism and I believe that the nation is doing very well. We have received suggestions that Kyrgyzstan should start offering all-in-one packages tourism, which can include visa, air tickets, etc., at a fixed price. At the embassy, we agree to the idea and are ready to provide any assistance required to promote tourism and business to Kyrgyzstan. Getting a visa is very easy, and eligible applicants can get their visa in four days,” he said.

Sharing details on air connectivity to the Central Asian nation, Taj Hewad, CEO, Skyline Team (that operates flights to Bishkek in association with Avia Traffic), said, “We are actively working along with Kyrgyzstan embassy and tour operators to promote tourism from India. As an airline group, we are providing visa services and are working to soon provide a visa package to passengers who buy airline tickets from Avia Traffic. We currently have three slots and can take them up to five, which means five flights a week. We have 148 seats on one flight, the Boeing 737-300 – our aircraft on the Indian route,” Hewad shared.
