ARTICLE ANNOTATION

quote
This article presents a comprehensive analysis of student mobility and tourism flows in Central Asia, drawing on the experience of the European Union. The economic impact of student flows is assessed through empirical analysis, which confirms the long-term economic efficiency of the “student-tourist” synergy. Based on these findings, the study proposes a new integrative framework for the Central Asian states—the Silk Road Student Mobility Program. The model merges a digital platform, an integration network and financial instruments to create a unified regional ecosystem for student mobility. The paper offers science-based, practical recommendations aimed at boosting the economic contribution of student tourism and deepening regional integration across Central Asia.
