Abdilla Tashbekov and his family during a lunch in their house in Sary-Mogol. Since 2012, Abdilla has been the director of CBT Sary-Mogol. He used to work mainly in tourism during the summer when this sector was growing until the Covid-19 pandemic hit the village and no tourists came. About this situation, he says: “The tourist season is dead. We had to close the office, our yurt camp and our guest houses this year”.
