visitalatoo.com is a digital tourism portal for Kyrgyzstan, run by **Ala-Too Digital LLC** (ОсОО «Ала-Тоо Диджитал»), a company registered in the Kyrgyz Republic on **25 September 2026**. We publish free, sourced travel guides in **2 languages** — English and Russian — and connect travellers who send a request with verified local guesthouses, drivers, guides and tour operators across the country.

## What we do
Our work has three parts that support each other:

| Area | For whom | What it means in practice |
|---|---|---|
| Travel portal | Travellers | Destination guides, itineraries, practical advice on visas, transport and money; trip requests via [Plan my trip](https://visitalatoo.com/plan-my-trip/) |
| Digitalization of supply | Guesthouses, yurt camps, guides, drivers, tour operators | Free listing in the pilot, help with online presence and digital payments — see [for business](https://visitalatoo.com/business/) |
| Research | Universities, government, partners | Open data and analysis on tourism exports and informality — see [research hub](https://visitalatoo.com/research/digital-tourism-kyrgyzstan/) |

## Why we started
Kyrgyzstan's tourism earned about $1.1 billion in exports in 2025 and is growing fast, yet much of it still runs on cash and word of mouth. Travellers struggle to find reliable, up-to-date information, and many excellent family guesthouses and guides cannot be found online at all. We believe that making tourism services visible and payable digitally is good for everyone: travellers get clarity and protection, small businesses get access to foreign demand, and the country records more of the export it actually earns.

## How the portal works
- You read our guides — they are free and do not require registration.
- If you want help, you send a request through [Plan my trip](https://visitalatoo.com/plan-my-trip/) or WhatsApp.
- We clarify your dates, budget and interests, and propose options from verified providers.
- Prices are agreed transparently before you travel; we encourage digital payment methods with receipts.
We are not a booking engine with instant confirmation, and we do not publish invented prices. Where we give costs, they are ranges with a date, marked “as of 2026”.

## Our editorial principles
- **Sourced facts.** Statistics come from the National Statistical Committee, the National Bank, government bodies and reputable media; sources are listed on each page.
- **Dated information.** Every page shows when it was updated. Rules change — border permits, park access, payment options — and we mark what needs checking before a trip.
- **Own words.** Content is written by us, not copied.
- **No fake partnerships.** We do not claim partnerships or numbers we do not have.
- **Privacy.** Request data is used to answer you; only anonymised, aggregated indicators are used in research.
