President Zhaparov: Kyrgyzstan's Tourism Must Become a Year-Round Industry

President Sadyr Zhaparov said tourism in Kyrgyzstan must be transformed into a year-round industry. Speaking at a national meeting in Bishkek on October 22, 2026, dedicated to discussing strategic objectives for the next five years, he said achieving this requires high-quality service, modern infrastructure and the safety of tourists.

According to the head of state, projects including "Ala-Too Resort," "Chatkal Resort" and "Baitik Resort" are being implemented toward this goal. He also said hosting international events in Bishkek, Osh and Manas, as well as along the shores of Issyk-Kul lake, contributes to the development of business tourism.

The president encouraged aspiring entrepreneurs to develop small businesses in mountainous regions. He emphasized the importance of focusing on high-quality service, national cuisine, horseback riding and the organization of mountain excursions.
