Uzbekistan advances major mountain resort project with international hospitality partnerships

A transformative all-season mountain resort is taking shape in Uzbekistan’s Bostanlik district, promising to reshape Central Asia’s tourism landscape through ambitious infrastructure development and strategic international partnerships. The Chimgan resort complex, spread across 1,278 hectares in the Tashkent region, represents a significant leap forward in the country’s hospitality sector modernization efforts.

Comprehensive resort infrastructure emerges

The development, executed in partnership with French company MND, centers around a cable car system capable of transporting tourists to altitudes of 3,300 meters above sea level. This engineering achievement will enable year-round tourism operations — winter sports including skiing and snowboarding during cold months, while warmer seasons will cater to mountaineering, hiking tours, and recreational activities.

Construction progress reveals impressive hospitality infrastructure taking shape. A six-story modern hotel facility stands ready to accommodate 320 guests simultaneously, with annual capacity reaching 45,000 visitors. The property will operate under management partnership with the established Wyndham brand, bringing international hospitality standards to the Central Asian market.

Additional accommodation options include five-story and seven-story apart-hotel buildings, complemented by a seven-story hotel and a two-story restaurant complex. These facilities collectively promise to serve over 54,000 tourists annually while generating employment for more than 100 local residents. Six chalet houses are currently under construction, adding premium lodging alternatives to the resort’s portfolio.

Infrastructure investments support accessibility

Supporting infrastructure developments demonstrate comprehensive planning approaches. A 300-space parking facility incorporates ground-floor amenities including restaurant services, children’s recreation areas, and retail spaces, creating integrated service hubs for visitors.

Transportation accessibility received major enhancement through construction of a 1,450-meter automotive tunnel system, complete with two bridges and pedestrian walkways. The infrastructure handles over 500 vehicles per hour, significantly reducing travel time to mountain resort destinations while improving safety standards and traffic flow efficiency.

The broader Bostanlik district transformation includes operational facilities in Amirsai, Chinarkent, and Charvak Gates recreation zones, where hotels and dining establishments already serve visitors. This coordinated development strategy positions the region as a premier tourism destination combining natural beauty with contemporary amenities and professional service standards.

For international companies in furniture, interior design, construction, and hospitality sectors, this development signals substantial opportunities in Uzbekistan’s expanding tourism infrastructure market. The integration of international hospitality brands like Wyndham demonstrates growing demand for premium furnishing, fixture, and design solutions that meet global standards. Construction companies and interior specialists can anticipate increased demand for expertise in mountain resort development, while the emphasis on year-round operations creates sustained market potential for suppliers of hospitality equipment, recreational facility construction, and premium accommodation furnishing across Central Asia’s emerging tourism markets.
