Uzbekturizm national company urges Uzbekistan’s
entrepreneurs to actively invest in tourism business
The managing board of the National Company Uzbekturizm
at the meeting with entrepreneurs in Urganch urged Uzbekistan companies actively
invest the tourism sector of Khorazm region.
During the
meeting it was said that the region did not use in full the investment
opportunities in tourism. Khorazm region with its sightseeing places attract
amateurs of historical-cultural tourism from all across the globe. Inquisitive
travelers come here to see ancient Khiva – “open air museum” and its ages-old
architectural constructions Ichan-Kala, to step the land where, according to
legends, the unique written monument Avesta – sacred book of Zoroastrians was
created.
It is
observed that lack of hotels and accommodations in the peak of tourist seasons
is the constraint for the growth of foreign tourists. In the regard, it is
planned this year the construction of four hotels along the main avenue of
Urganch – Al-Khorazmiy Street.
Small hotels decorated in special thematic style will offer comfortable
conditions for tourists.
Local
entrepreneurs get interested in this project. By the end of the meeting the
organizers have received eight offers from representatives of small business
and private entrepreneurship of Khorazm willing to invest to the construction
of hotels. Representatives of commercial banks, participated in the meeting,
also take the initiative, offering co-financing of projects on a long-term
basis.
Currently, Uzbekturizm NC
carries out marketing projects on prolonging the tourist season and days of
stay of foreign tourists in Khorazm region. Thereafter, it is expected the
increase of active income of hotels that makes this sphere attractive for
investors. Investment directed to the development of tourism infrastructure
will allow to involve more tourists to the region, and, correspondingly, will
favor the creation of new job places in hotel, catering, transport and other
spheres.
