A New Boost for Tourism

International Airport in Karakol: A New Boost for Tourism and Economy.

On December 11, the international airport in Karakol, located in the picturesque Issyk-Kul region, was officially inaugurated. The ceremony was attended by the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, Sadyr Japarov, who emphasized the significance of this event for the entire country.

In his speech, the President reminded the audience that many airports in Kyrgyzstan ceased operations following the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, the restoration of aviation infrastructure has become a top priority.

The new airport in Karakol is not only a step forward in developing regional tourism but also a critical component in enhancing transportation accessibility.

The airport, with a capacity to serve up to 250 passengers per hour, will become a vital hub for tourists visiting the region's popular ski resorts. The President highlighted that Karakol, along with the recently opened airport in Talas, symbolizes Kyrgyzstan's openness to international guests and its commitment to strengthening air connectivity, especially in remote areas of the country.

The restoration and modernization of airports open new opportunities for Kyrgyzstan's economy and tourism, making the country more accessible and attractive to travelers from around the world.
