Once fully developed, the Issyk-Kul Golf Resort will combine tourism, sports, wellness and entertainment facilities, offering several four- and five-star hotels, restaurants, beaches, and recreational amenities alongside the golf club.

During the ceremony, President of the Kyrgyz Golf Federation, Khomeni Ergeshov, delivered welcoming remarks, followed by an address from President Sadyr Japarov, who highlighted the project’s significance in promoting tourism and economic development in the region.

Following the speeches, the four heads of state toured the resort complex and participated in a ceremonial tee-off to officially mark the opening of the golf course, underscoring their support for initiatives aimed at expanding regional tourism, sports cooperation and investment.
