Uzbekistan's population is shaping up as a country with a high level of youthfulness and labor potential

The country places special emphasis on sustainable agricultural development, ensuring food security, and producing export goods. An important task is protecting horticulture, farming, greenhouse operations, and private gardens from dangerous pests and quarantine organisms.

Environmental and Technological Aspects

Preserving green zones, forming a comfortable ecological environment in cities and rural areas, and ensuring clean atmospheric air are considered relevant issues. In this area, modern approaches, scientific developments, advanced foreign experience, and digital technologies are being gradually implemented. Special attention is paid to assessing the quality of fruit and vegetable products using modern laboratory analyses.

Control and Monitoring in Tashkent

Currently, the Phytosanitary and Plant Protection Department of Tashkent city is conducting comprehensive monitoring and control measures in all 12 districts of the capital as part of the 'Dolzarb 30 Days' campaign. During these inspections, efforts are made to combat harmful organisms that pose a serious threat to fruit orchards, such as Eastern pear, as well as pests causing significant economic damage to crops, such as squash bugs, and other harmful organisms negatively affecting the growth of cultivated plants, including Zarpechak and Sudraluvchi kara.

Analysis Process and Interest Protection

Specialists collect plant samples suspected of containing harmful organisms and conduct express analyses in mobile laboratories. If pests are found in quarantined products, disinfection measures are organized according to established procedures. It should be noted that the 'Dolzarb 30 Days' campaign, conducted across the republic, will run from June 8 to July 8 of this year. These actions contribute to ensuring plant phytosanitary conditions, preserving yields, protecting the interests of farmers and landholders, and increasing the export potential of the country's agricultural products.

Field reception sessions continue in the Samarkand region as part of the nationwide program of the Uzbek Liberal Democratic Party 'With the People' with the aim of studying residents' problems and finding prompt solutions.

Reception in Toilok

The next reception was organized in Toilok with the participation of the local district administration and the People's Reception. Residents addressed the Chairman of the Samarkand Regional Council of UzLiDeP Ilhom Botirov, the head of the Toilok district Behzod Rahmatullaev, and deputies of local councils.

During the reception, about 50 issues were raised concerning topics such as water supply, electricity, internal road repair, cadastre, employment, social support, medical care, and housing issues. Measures were determined for the positive resolution of these problems.

Solving Specific Problems

For example, resident Zh. Zhabborov from the Ukrach microdistrict appealed to have an SIP cable laid over a distance of 1 kilometer to improve electricity supply in the microdistrict. The district administration resolved this issue positively and assigned the task to the power grid enterprise, which will be carried out shortly.

Abdukhamid Zokirov, an activist from the Kushchinor microdistrict, noted that the capacity of the school and kindergarten in their area does not meet the needs of the population, and they proposed building additional buildings. This issue was studied and included in the plan.

Reception Process and Other Districts

During the reception, every appeal was directed to the relevant organizations, and its execution was monitored. Citizens were given legal clarifications on some issues. Similar field receptions also took place in the Jomboy district.

Large-scale work is underway in the Urta Chirchik district to develop tourist infrastructure, implement new investment projects, and increase the flow of tourists in recent years. This plays a key role in boosting the district's economic activity, ensuring employment for the population, and developing the service sector.

Current Tourist Base

According to estimates, there are currently 28 service facilities for tourists operating in the district, which have 198 rooms and 616 beds. The majority of these facilities are family guesthouses focused on ecotourism and rural tourism. Additionally, tourists are provided with services from three resort complexes, three hostels, hotels, and sanatorium-pension resorts.

Historical and Natural Heritage

The appeal of Urta Chirchik to visitors is due not only to its natural landscapes but also to its rich historical and cultural heritage. The district has 11 state-protected cultural heritage sites, 7 of which are archaeological monuments and 4 are scenic spots. Local and foreign tourists are particularly interested in the 'Kuk Buloq Ata' sites in Obod village and the 'Kindiktepa' archaeological monument on the shore of the Tashkent Sea near Oltiugil village.

Development of the 'Tashkent Sea'

One of the most important factors increasing the district's tourist attractiveness is the Tuyabugiz reservoir, known locally as the 'Tashkent Sea.' In recent years, tourist services in this area have significantly improved. Especially during the summer season when the swimming period begins, the reservoir becomes one of the most visited places for local residents. The expansion of beach areas, opportunities for family recreation, fishing, and ecotourism contributes to the annual growth in the number of tourists.

Investments and Sector Growth

Today, the 'Tashkent Sea' is being shaped not just as a place of recreation, but as a unique tourist brand for Urta Chirchik. The growth in visitor numbers stimulates the development of the service sector, small businesses, and private entrepreneurship. The growth dynamics in the district's tourism sector are clearly visible in examples of investment projects. This year, a modern resort complex worth 32 billion sums is planned to be commissioned, which is being implemented by the 'GOLDEN FISH' company in Burgalik village. Additionally, resort complexes worth 25 billion sums each are being built in Oltiugil village with the participation of 'TEXTILE MILL TASHKENT' and 'ZELAL TEXTILE'. Furthermore, the 'Tashvegas' company is implementing a project for a modern tourist group that includes a hotel, extreme tourism, and fishing. These efforts are vital for improving tourist infrastructure, creating new jobs, expanding the range of services, and forming a more comfortable environment for guests.

Statistics and Forecasts

According to statistical data, in the first quarter of 2026, 12,284 foreign and 50,491 local tourists visited the district. The planned targets for local tourists were met at 115 percent. During this period, the export of tourism services reached 900 thousand US dollars. It should also be noted the steady growth in tourist flow in recent years. For example, in 2023, 41 thousand local and 13 thousand foreign tourists arrived in the district, while in 2024 these figures were 42.1 thousand and 24.5 thousand, respectively. In 2025, the number of local tourists reached 46.3 thousand, and foreign tourists reached 36.8 thousand. These figures demonstrate a constant increase in Urta Chirchik's tourism potential year over year. Notably, only in April of this year, 815 foreign tourists, 15,302 local tourists, and 5,521 domestic tourism participants visited the district. This shows that the tourism sector is becoming one of the key drivers of the economy, making a significant contribution to the development of the service market and the growth of household income.

Overall, historical sites, natural resources such as the 'Tashkent Sea,' and the implementation of new investment projects are transforming Urta Chirchik into one of the most promising tourist regions of the Tashkent region. This creates a solid foundation for the future growth of the region's economy, job creation, and increased volume of tourism service exports.
