Uzbekistan is preparing a new nature-based tourism destination in Andijan Region, where an eco-tourism complex developed across 192 hectares is combining hospitality facilities, leisure infrastructure and resource-efficient landscaping.
Eco-tourism project takes shape near Andijan
The complex, located in the Yangi Hayot area, was developed following a presidential assignment and an initiative by the Agency for the Development of the Agro-Industrial Complex. Built on a hill overlooking the surrounding district, the site has quickly attracted local residents and tourists with its combination of natural scenery and modern amenities.
The first facilities include four contemporary capsule-style holiday houses and five traditional yurts. Decorative and coniferous trees have been planted across 30 hectares, while a family restaurant, leisure attractions and a modern night-lighting system are adding to the destination’s visitor appeal.
Infrastructure designed around resource efficiency
Environmental considerations are central to the project. A membrane water reservoir with a capacity of 14,000 cubic metres has been built on the site, and all trees and plants are irrigated through a drip-irrigation system. These solutions are intended to support the complex’s operations while limiting pressure on local water resources.
The total investment has reached 51.8 billion Uzbek sums. The project has already created 275 permanent jobs and 200 seasonal positions for local residents, linking the tourism development with employment opportunities in the surrounding area.
Once fully operational, the complex is expected to provide services worth 80 billion Uzbek sums annually and generate 3 billion Uzbek sums in local budget revenues. The Vinogradny Sad complex is scheduled to be fully launched by the end of the current year and is expected to become one of Andijan Region’s notable tourism locations.
For international companies in hospitality, construction, architecture, landscape design, furniture and interior manufacturing, the project illustrates Uzbekistan’s expanding demand for integrated tourism infrastructure outside major urban centres. Capsule accommodation, traditional-style facilities, outdoor leisure spaces, lighting, water management and visitor-oriented commercial premises could create opportunities for foreign suppliers and investors as regional destinations move from concept to full-scale operation.
