Subsidies for modular hotels have been increased: a new stage in tourism has begun

In order to further develop the tourism infrastructure in Uzbekistan and increase the flow of domestic and foreign tourists, the government has taken another important step - the amount of subsidies allocated for the construction of modular hotels has been significantly increased. This was stipulated in the presidential decree “On measures to increase the role and importance of tourism in the economy by sharply increasing the flow of tourists and rapidly expanding the scope of tourist services in 2025-2026”.

One-time subsidies for modular hotels:

Until January 1, 2027, hotels consisting of at least 10 modules will be provided with state assistance in the following amounts:

- Category I - 10 million soums per place;
- Category II - 7 million soums per place;
- Category III - 5 million soums per place.

It is worth recalling that, according to the previous document, a subsidy of 1 million soums per place was allocated in a single procedure for all categories until November 1, 2026. The new decree significantly expanded these norms.

Serious attention to medical tourism

Until January 1, 2028, the state will cover part of the costs of professional development of medical tourism cluster employees.

Until 2030, the services of these clusters will be actively promoted at international tourism and medical exhibitions.

New platforms and travel for winners

Starting in 2025, all state electronic systems will be unified within the framework of a single National Tourism Platform.

A thematic office called "Tourism on the Silk Road" will be opened in Samarkand.

Winners of youth sports competitions will be encouraged with "Travel around Uzbekistan" vouchers.

From the editorial staff of Zamin.uz:
This decree will play an important role in leading tourism in Uzbekistan on the path of comprehensive reforms. By strengthening the hotel infrastructure, popularizing medical tourism and encouraging youth travel, the country can become an even more attractive center for tourists.
