An integrated cost–benefit analysis of sustainable tourism interventions on the south shore of Issyk-Kul
The analysis finds that a sustainable tourism pathway for Geopark Teskei, based on nature-based infrastructure and ecosystem protection, generates USD 250 million in net benefits over 25 years, significantly outperforming the USD 17.6 million generated by conventional mass tourism. This shift increases net benefits per tourist from USD 7.90 to USD 113 and provides a return of USD 8.88 for every USD 1 invested. Key economic drivers include a transition to higher-value visitors and the avoidance of USD 31.9 million in environmental and infrastructure costs through improved waste and wastewater management.
