The book is called Together We Have It All: Women Entrepreneurs in the Community-Based Tourism Sector of Kyrgyzstan (CBT). This book presents a collection of 18 narratives bringing forward the message that CBT not only encourages a deeper connection between the host and visitor, but it also promotes the empowerment of women, cultural conservation, social responsibility, and the enhancement of livelihoods.
