In addition to the cableway, modern cottages and a toboggan run are being built at Ala-Archa, and a five-star hotel with a swimming pool is planned for construction.
The President also cited data on the park’s revenue growth: from 29 million soms in 2020, it exceeded 262 million soms in 2025—an increase of almost ninefold. He attributed this to digitalization and a transparent management system.

The President expressed confidence that the implementation of tourism projects will increase tourist flow, create new jobs, and significantly contribute to economic growth.
