Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev reviewed construction of a congress hall and modern hotels in Bukhara.
The complex is intended to help the city host international forums, high-level meetings and conferences. The number of foreign tourists visiting Uzbekistan has been rising: in 2025 it was nearly six times the 2016 figure, while exports of tourism services were 11 times higher.
The congress hall is part of a 60 million dollar project and will cover 14,500 square metres. The main concreting work is complete. Workers are continuing to install external utilities and build the facade and roof.
A seven-storey Hilton Garden Inn hotel, costing 37 million dollars, is also being built on the site. It will have 212 rooms and an underground car park. The main structure is complete, while work continues on interior walls, utilities and the facade.
Another project is a seven-storey Holiday Inn hotel costing 39.6 million dollars, also with 212 rooms. A two-storey business centre is being built nearby. Roofing and interior-wall work is under way at the hotel, while concreting in the business centre’s underground section is nearing completion.
Mirziyoyev said the projects are important for hosting international events in Bukhara and broadening tourism services. He instructed officials to complete construction on time and strictly meet quality requirements.
