Kyrgyzstan's Cabinet Chairman, Adylbek Kasymaliev, has personally inspected the progress of several key infrastructure projects in the city of Karakol. The visit underscored the government's commitment to developing the city's facilities, particularly those aimed at enhancing tourism and public services.

Among the sites reviewed was a new Congress Hall designed to accommodate 1,500 people. This facility will feature a main hall, an additional hall, a conference room, and a library, intended to boost the city's capacity for hosting events. Chairman Kasymaliev also observed the construction of a modern wastewater treatment facility, crucial for improving environmental standards and public health in the rapidly growing tourist destination.

Furthermore, the Chairman examined a new sports complex being built on a 12-hectare site. This multifunctional complex is set to include a 5,000-seat capacity, an Olympic-standard swimming pool, a 200-bed hotel, and a sports boarding school for 275 students. The development aims to cater to both local needs and the increasing number of tourists, which reached approximately 300,000 last year, nearly three times Karakol's population of 100,000.

During his inspection, Adylbek Kasymaliev issued directives to relevant government agencies and the City Hall. He emphasized the importance of ensuring high-quality construction work and strict compliance with the established deadlines for the facilities' commissioning. The Cabinet highlighted recent upgrades to Karakol's road infrastructure, housing development, and water supply systems as part of a broader effort to elevate the city's tourism and transport infrastructure.

Karakol is home to about 100,000 people. Last year, the city welcomed about 300,000 tourists, nearly three times its population. In recent years, the city has been upgrading its road infrastructure, constructing new housing and developing water supply and wastewater systems, while its tourism and transport infrastructure is reaching a new level.
