  Huge Opportunities for Business: Hotels, Restaurants, and Entertainment Venues

  The influx of millions of foreign guests is placing new demands on the capital's service sector and private business:

  • Service network: The Head of State emphasized the need to expand the network of hotels, cafes, and restaurants across the city for the comfortable recreation of tourists;

  • Key requirement — recreation areas: "Arriving guests need hotels, cafes, and restaurants. Most importantly, modern entertainment venues are essential," Shavkat Mirziyoyev stressed.

  Such large-scale initiatives aimed at strengthening Tashkent's position on the global tourism map will serve to attract not only millions of tourists to the capital, but also massive foreign investments.
