Today, ecotourism is one of the fastest growing industries according to the World Tourism and
Tourism Council and the World Tourism Organization. In Canada, for example, wildlife tourism
accounts for 25% of domestic tourism. The Canadian government earns $ 1.7 billion annually in
taxes from eco-tourism alone. This is five times more than the government funds for wildlife
conservation programs. At the same time, eco-tourism contributes significantly to the
implementation of nature protection activities and contributes significantly to the sustainable
development of the environment. Over the past 20 years, the number of tourists in developing
countries has increased significantly and its revenues are increasing year by year. For example,
Kenya's smaller eco-tourism countries make $ 1,400 million annually, Ecuador's $ 1,180 million,
and Costa Rica $ 1140 million. In these countries, 70-80% of GDP comes from eco-tourism.
In 2006, the International Ecotourism Center was established and launched under the Ecosan
International Organization to bring unique flora and fauna to Uzbekistan.
Ecotourism not only helps to familiarize foreign tourists with the landscape, rich and unique
nature of the native land, the flora and fauna, but also to strengthen the bonds of friendship
between the peoples, as well as the preservation and reproduction of unique flora and fauna on
the territory of Uzbekistan, to stimulate their work and create new national and natural parks
within and around them that meet the requirements of the world. It also creates prospects for
attracting additional foreign investment to enhance the material and technical base of eco-
tourism facilities in protected areas.
Taking into account the role, status and potential of eco-tourism in the world, the State
Committee for Nature Protection has developed the following main measures for the
development of ecotourism in Uzbekistan.
1. Development of large, small-scale, long-term projects and business plans that meet the
international standards and requirements for the development of eco-tourism in Uzbekistan. Use
of soft loans for their realization.
2. One of the factors for the development of ecotourism is the creation of a material and
technical, information and analytical database that meets the requirements of the world, and the
creation of an infrastructure for services.
3. Provide comprehensive information on the nature, landscape, flora and fauna of Uzbekistan,
the potential of eco-tourism and the concept of its development in various languages of the
world.
4. To promote the global ecotourism market through leaflets, tourist atlases and maps and other
promotional materials about the historical monuments, beautiful and unique nature of the
country, landscape and flora.
5. Delivery of young specialists to the countries with developed ecotourism (USA, Japan,
Canada, France, Germany) for training and exchange of experience, taking into account the fact
