HOTELS :
Tourists are
still required to stay in hotels that are licensed by Uzbektourism,
and most hotels are run by them. However, a growing number of
independent hotels are now being licensed. It is necessary for
visitors to have a slip of paper stamped by the hotel to prove that
they have stayed there. Services and facilities are not generally up
to Western standards, but efforts are being made to improve them and
there is a growing number of western-style hotels owned by foreign
companies. Most tourist hotel rooms have a shower and WC en suite,
although supplies of soap and toilet paper can be unreliable. All
regional capitals have at least one Uzbektourism hotel that will
accept foreigners. Many tourists will have booked tours
which include accommodation, others will have to pay in US Dollars,
unless they have special exemptions.
BED & BREAKFAST :
There are a few bed & breakfast hotels
springing up, but they are small and can be difficult to get into. A
new association of bed & breakfasts is being created by the
Government.
CAMPING
:
Uzbektourism runs a number of temporary campsites in the mountains. |
