TO DO! International Contest Socially Responsible Tourism 2010: With an award winner from Tajikistan, it is for the first time that a TO DO! goes to a region which is rather "unknown territory" for Western tourists. During the Soviet era, the Zerafshan Valley, surrounded by peaks above 5,000 meters, was an attractive and popular destination not far off the silk road.
The objective of the regional development project COMMUNITY BASED TOURISM IN THE ZERAFSHAN VALLEY is to provide additional job opportunities and income to the local population through tourism development. Subsistence agriculture has so far been dominating, which forces many local people to go to Russia or Kazakhstan as migrant workers.
