The Aga Khan Foundation and its local NGO the
Mountain Societies Development Support Programme (MSDSP) have just supported the
establishment of a Pamirs Eco-Cultural Tourism Association (PECTA) that will be the central
point for marketing and information on local tourist service providers (travel agencies,
homestays, drivers, guides etc.). During the course of the next few years PECTA will be
establishing quality criteria and training programmes for the improvement of these services.
