The Cabinet of Ministers has decided to effectively use the tourism potential of the Khorezm region and rapidly develop it. The goal is to improve the tourism infrastructure, increase the volume of tourism services, and make tourism a leading industry for creating new jobs. The Decree of the President of Uzbekistan, "On the Development Strategy of the New Uzbekistan for 2022-2026" has designated tourism as the main driver sector in the Khorezm region. The plan is to increase the tourism services in the region by at least five times in the next five years by improving the infrastructure and establishing new family guest houses, "tourist streets", and promoting the region's rich material and intangible cultural heritage.
The Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Heritage, together with the Khorezm Region Hokim, will implement measures to develop 13 selected neighborhoods with high tourism potential as tourism drivers. The Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Heritage will also rehabilitate the Hazorasp District's "Sulayman Castle" tourist facility and provide tourism services in the adjacent areas.
The Ministry of Transport, together with the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Heritage, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will launch new regular and charter flights from European countries and revive prospective flights, increasing their number. The Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Heritage will announce a public competition for the creation of a tourist brand "Khorazm" that will be attractive for local and foreign tourists and develop a draft decision for the high-level organization of the city of Khiva as the "Tourism Capital of the Islamic World" in 2024.
The Ministry of Transport will ensure the delivery of a high-speed train to Khiva and speed up the reconstruction of the international airport "Urganch" to turn it into a major tourist-transport hub. The Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Heritage, together with the Khorezm Region's Hokim, will submit information to the Cabinet of Ministers about their work on a quarterly basis. The execution of this decision will be supervised by the Deputy Prime Minister of Uzbekistan and the Minister of Tourism and Cultural Heritage, A.A.
