A clear example of this trend is the opening of the new international hotel Mercure Tashkent North, operated by the world-leading hospitality group Accor. Founded in 1967, the company manages more than 5,300 hotels and 10,000 restaurants across 110 countries, offering a wide range of brands—from economy to luxury segments. The new four-star hotel is located in close proximity to Tashkent International Airport, making it convenient for both tourists and business travelers. Mercure Tashkent North combines comfort, style, and international hospitality standards, offering modern rooms, a restaurant featuring a signature interpretation of local and international cuisine, conference halls for business and private events, and a spa center for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Uzbekistan is increasingly attracting the attention of international hotel operators, opening up new opportunities for business and cultural tourism. Leading global hotel brands such as Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott, Accor, and Radisson are already operating in the country.

As of today, the total number of accommodation facilities in the country has reached 6,921, with a room capacity of 185,600, significantly expanding opportunities for comfortable stays for tourists. The entry of international brands contributes to raising service standards and shaping a modern, competitive hospitality industry.

Special attention is being paid to the development of the sector at the state level. In the Presidential Decree of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On additional measures to consistently continue reforms and bring them to a new stage within the framework of priority directions of the countryʼs development until 2030,” as well as in the resolution “On measures for organizing the activities of the tourism committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan and accelerating the development of the tourism sector,” the strategic importance of tourism is emphasized. In particular, plans include doubling the number of hotels operating under international brands, increasing total room capacity to 240,000, supporting branded hotels at the stages of construction and equipment, developing tourism infrastructure, and promoting the national tourism product abroad.

The hotel’s opening ceremony brought together representatives of the tourism industry, business community, diplomatic corps, and government bodies. The event featured a cultural program showcasing Uzbekistan’s rich heritage and traditions of hospitality.

The opening of Mercure Tashkent North highlights the country’s growing investment attractiveness and its strengthening position on the international tourism stage. The development of hotel infrastructure and the entry of major global brands are setting new service standards, enhancing Uzbekistan’s competitiveness, and expanding opportunities for hosting business events and international conferences.
