A ski resort is planned to be built in Cholpon-Ata with investment of 2.6 billion soms. Another tourism project envisages the construction of a water park in the Kes-Senir area. This was reported by the presidential administration following Sadyr Japarov's working trip to the Issyk-Kul region on 13 November.

During the trip, the head of state was presented with the results of the socio-economic development of Issyk-Kul district and the city of Balykchy for 2021–2026, as well as plans for the construction of new facilities.

In 2025–2026, 65 urban infrastructure development projects will be implemented in Balykchy. For this purpose, 2.2 billion soms have been earmarked from the republican budget, the Issyk-Kul Region Development Fund and the local budget.

Construction of the Zheti Duban Ordosu park, dedicated to the historical and cultural landmarks of the seven regions of Kyrgyzstan, is 90% complete. The cost of the project is 149.5 million soms.
