Uzbekistan is set to welcome 23 new hotels from international hotel brands, reports the president's press service.
The country will host hotels such as Swissôtel, Sheraton, Ritz-Carlton, Novotel, Pullman, Marriott, ibis, and Mercure, among others. Additionally, a large shopping center named Sea Breeze, costing $10 billion, will begin construction in Bostanlyk.
By 2025, the number of hotel accommodations in the country is expected to increase by another 30,000, with entrepreneurs investing around 10 trillion soums. Consequently, 25 new complexes will be added to the existing 17 major trade and tourism centers in the country.
A separate company focused on trade development has also been established, with the government allocating $350 million for export financing. In 2025, the country plans to allocate an additional $300 million.
It was previously reported that Emin Agalarov presented a tourism center project to Shavkat Mirziyoyev. A commission will be formed, headed by the Prime Minister, to implement this initiative.
