The Cabinet of Ministers has revised the target indicators of the State Program for Comprehensive Socio-Economic Development of Kyrgyzstan's Regions for 2025–2030. These changes are set out in Resolution No. 728 of October 28, 2026.
Changes to Tourism Indicators and the Fee
One of the key changes concerns the tourism sector. Previously, the target for growth in the number of foreign tourists by the end of the program was 100%, but in the updated version this target has been lowered to 20%.
Changes to the program's target indicators
In addition, the interim plans were adjusted. For example, foreign tourist growth is planned at 5% in 2026, as well as 10% in 2027, 15% in 2028 and 20% in 2029. As for exports of tourism services, the interim indicators are set at 5%, 7%, 9% and 11%.
Changes to Investment and Fund Collection
In the area of investment in tourism, the growth target has been retained at 100%. However, for the interim years growth of 5% is planned in 2026, 20% in 2027, 35% in 2028 and 60% in 2029.
The timing for introducing the special tourism fee was also revised. Whereas the previous version planned to introduce it from January 1, 2026, the new version provides for different conditions.
