Exactly 10 years ago, in 2012, the Kyrgyz Republic introduced a visa-free regime for more than 60 countries of the world. This article attempts to find answers to such questions as to whether this policy has brought about the expected results, whether citizens of those richer countries for which visa-free regime was introduced do come to Kyrgyzstan as tourists, or whether the number of tourists has increased only due to natural growth. First, the relevant academic literature on the visa-free regime policy was reviewed. Then, based on the statistical data of the National Statistical Committee of the Kyrgyz Republic for 2011-2019, the growth rate of tourism from the 15 richest countries for which a visa-free regime was introduced was analyzed. The end of the article includes a discussion of the results on the basis of which proposals for improving tourism policy were developed.

10 лет назад Кыргызская Республика ввела безвизовый режим для более чем 60 стран мира. В этой статье сделана попытка найти ответы на следующие вопросы: приносит ли данная политика ожидаемые плоды, приезжают ли граждане богатых стран, для которых был введен безвизовый режим, в Кыргызстан в качестве туристов, или число туристов увеличивается только за счет естественного прироста? Была рассмотрена соответствующая научная литература по политике безвизового режима, и на основании статистических данных Национального статистического комитета Кыргызской Республики за 2011-2019 годы проанализированы темпы роста количества туристов из 15 самых богатых стран, для которых был введен безвизовый режим. На основании полученных результатов разработаны предложения по совершенствованию политики в сфере туризма.
