Starting from October 1, 2024, until November 1, 2026, Uzbekistan will provide subsidies for the construction of modular hotels consisting of at least 10 modules that have been certified. The subsidy will be paid regardless of the hotel’s category and will amount to 1 million sums per bed created.

This is outlined in a government decree approved on September 13, 2024.

Conditions for Receiving the Subsidy

To be eligible for the subsidy, entrepreneurs must meet the following requirements:

• no outstanding tax or fee debts;
• the company must not be in the process of reorganization or liquidation;
• the company’s activities must not be suspended;
• the company must not be declared insolvent by a court decision;
• the hotel must have a certificate of compliance and a document confirming the right to the land plot.

Application Process

Entrepreneurs can apply for the subsidy by visiting public service centers or submitting an application via the portal my.gov.uz. Applications are reviewed by the Committee for Tourism within 15 business days, including an on-site inspection to verify compliance with the requirements.

After reviewing the application, the Committee will make a decision to approve or deny the subsidy within one business day. An electronic copy of the decision is sent to the applicant on the same day.

Program Duration

The subsidy regulation will be in effect from October 1, 2024, to December 31, 2026. This project aims to stimulate the development of modular hotels in the country, opening new opportunities for the growth of domestic tourism and increasing tourist flows.

The government’s initiative to support modular hotels will create favorable conditions for entrepreneurs and contribute to the growth of tourism infrastructure in Uzbekistan.

What Are Modular Hotels?

Modular hotels are a type of accommodation built from pre-fabricated modules, which are manufactured in a factory and then transported to the construction site for assembly. Each module represents an individual hotel room or part of it (e.g., a bathroom or living area), and all modules are assembled on-site like a construction set. Modular hotels offer flexibility in design, rapid construction, and relatively lower costs compared to traditional building methods.

Key Advantages of Modular Hotels:

• Quick Assembly: The construction and installation of such hotels take much less time compared to conventional buildings.
• Mobility: These hotels can be partially or fully relocated if necessary.
• Cost Efficiency: Factory production of modules reduces construction costs.
• Design Flexibility: Modules can be adapted to different conditions and needs, adding or removing specific elements.

These hotels can serve as temporary or permanent accommodations for tourists, especially in high-demand areas or remote regions where traditional construction is challenging.
