Prime Minister Adylbek Kasymaliev stated that Kyrgyzstan intends to turn the SCO space into one of the world’s leading tourism hubs.
Adylbek Kasymaliev spoke at the opening of the BITF-2026 exhibition in Bishkek. According to him, the country will promote a single tourist space within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, simplify visa procedures and develop transport corridors. Emphasis is also placed on environmental standards and the development of mountain tourism. Among the projects are tourist clusters in Chatkal and Chok-Tal, an investment zone in Tamchy and the ‘Ala-Too’ project.
In 2026, Kyrgyzstan chairs the SCO and actively promotes the tourism agenda on the international stage.
Earlier, the UN, at the initiative of Kyrgyzstan, declared 2023–2027 the Five-Year Period for the Development of Mountain Regions. The authorities are betting on tourism as one of the key drivers of the economy and a way to attract investments.
