Ottenbacher1 T. Mukhambetov2 * 1 Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences, Germany, Heilbronn 2Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Kazakhstan, Almaty *e-mail: [email protected] CLUSTER APPROACH IN CULTURAL HERITAGE TOURISM (CASE OF THE CENTRAL ASIAN SECTION OF SILK ROAD) Modern social and economic science pays little attention to the development of tourism based on new approaches to its management and organization. As a result, the most important sector of the economy develops in practice on the basis of not always effective traditional models. The research problem of the development of a new approach to the organization of tourism products with cross-border nature is developed in this article. The purpose was to develop a methodological toolkit for the development of cross-border tourism based on the cluster approach. To achieve this goal, the study design was based on the study of tourism features that affect the planning and clustering process. The highlighted stages of clustering in the form of identifying tourism objects, designing clusters, forming cluster structures form the basis of a new socio-economic model of the tourism industry. To design a regional cross-border tourism cluster, a method is substantiated and applied to correlate all indicators of cluster tourism development to the number of cultural and historical objects. The selected 19 indicators of development are combined into 6 groups, which make it possible to comprehensively assess the cluster organization of tourism in the region.

  • An Experience in Uzbekistan Why Uzbekistan?
    17-22 SEPTEMBER 2019 En Silk Route AN EXPERIENCE IN UZBEKISTAN Why Uzbekistan? When Vajor Experiences had set out to create bespoke experiences for an evolved wanderer, Uzbekistan was on our Wishlist. It combines everything that makes for a fan-favorite in the travel space. Incredible architecture from the Silk Route..A mixture of fascinating Soviet, Islamic and Asian cultures and histories. An underrated food scene and an Untapped natural beauty from deserts to lush mountain areas. And most importantly a mystic bohemian vibe, which perfectly blends with Vajor as a key brand element. The week long trail in Uzbekistan takes us through a gamut of experiences over stories, DIY’s , tastings and much more to give you a first hand experience of how This area once was and till today remains elusive to travellers. The then and now of Uzbekistan with #vajorExperience. The history of the Silk Road goes as far back as 138 BC when China opened its borders. Over centuries, traders, missionaries and conquerors travelled from Asia to Europe through Uzbekistan and brought with them new cultures, religions and crafts, traces of which still exist. If you’re intrigued by the ancient Silk Road but don’t have the time to travel its length from China to Turkey, you’ll find two of the route’s most important cities in Uzbekistan. Bukhara and Samarkand were key stop-offs for traders, and have all been painstakingly restored to their former glory – think glittering minarets, voluptuous domes and hypnotic mosaics. Silk Route trade didn’t stop at silk. Goods, from spices and teas, salt and sugar, to ceramics, ivory, jewels and furs, were shuttled back and forth as countries discovered new items produced in far- away lands.
