The «DMO Karakalpakstan» public association has developed the handbook «Legal Regulation of the Tourism Business: A Guide for Entrepreneurs».

Tourism is one of the most dynamically developing sectors of the economy. It plays an important role in increasing our country’s investment attractiveness, creating new jobs, and promoting our cultural heritage worldwide. At the same time, for a tourism business to operate successfully, entrepreneurs must correctly understand and comply with various legal regulations.  

This methodological guide has been prepared as a practical resource for entrepreneurs working in the tourism sector. It covers key regulatory legal documents governing tourism, licensing and permit procedures, tax obligations, entrepreneurs' rights and responsibilities, as well as state-provided benefits and support mechanisms.  

The main goal of this handbook is to provide clear and understandable legal guidance for entrepreneurs who are either already operating in the tourism industry or planning to start a business in this field. We hope this guide will help you develop your business and operate in accordance with legal requirements.  

In preparing this handbook, the «DMO Karakalpakstan» public association has incorporated its expertise and the advice of specialists. The publication was prepared by A. Seitakhov.  

This handbook was developed within the framework of the «State-Legal Sector Dialogue» project with the support of the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ).

Your success is the key to the development of regional tourism!
