According to the presidential press service, in the Bostanlyk district, work is underway to develop tourism and service infrastructure on the basis of empty and inefficiently used facilities. In particular, it is planned to privatize about 80 objects.

“This will reduce the participation of the state in tourism and give an impetus to the development of private entrepreneurship. It is planned to create up to 15 thousand new jobs. Due to increased competition, reasonable prices for services will be formed,” the statement reads.

The event also provided information on efforts to identify and register illegal entities.

“In particular, in order to simplify the accounting of taxation objects in the Bostanlyk district, a mobile application orom.uz and a single electronic platform were developed. More than 3.7 thousand landlords are registered through it. In addition, strong points were created and more than 16 thousand facilities were taken stock. As a result, tax revenues have almost tripled compared to the same period last year,” the press service said.

Also at the presentation, the task was set to double the tourist potential of the region by expanding the influx of tourists and the types of services provided in the next two years.

In order to develop the district as a full-fledged tourist zone and successfully implement the scheduled projects, Shavkat Mirziyoyev proposed to entrust the task of parallel management of the Bostanlyk district, as an experiment, to the Deputy Prime Minister – Chairman of the State Committee for Tourism Development Aziz Abdukhakimov.
