DUSHANBE, March 28, 2016, Asia-Plus — Tajik known mineral water resort, Closed Joint Stock Company (CJSC) Shohambari, is liable to privatization.
The State Committee on Investment and State-owned Property Management (GosKomInvest) has announced a tender for privatization of the Shohambari resort.
The initial price for CJSC Shohambari, which is one of Tajikistan’s largest mineral water resorts, is only 3.1 million somoni (equivalent to some 395,000 U.S. dollars).
The mineral water resort is located 25 kilometers northwest of Dushanbe in the Hisor district. A total area of the resort, which is located at a height of 1,150 meters above sea level, is more than 17 hectares.
We will recall that GosKomInvest announced an open tender for sale of the tourist and skiing complex Safedorak in November last year. The initial price for the resort was only 1.92 million somoni.
The tender results were supposed to be announced on December 14 but GosKomInvest has not yet done it.
The Safedorak skiing resort is located in the Varzob district, 70 kilometers north of Dushanbe. It was officially opened in 1976.
Tajikistan’s National Olympic Committee (NOC) announced early January this year that the Safedorak skiing resort has been rehabilitated under financial support of Shamsullo Sohibov, Tajikistan’s Trade Representative in the United Kingdom, who has been elected to head the Winter Sports Association of Tajikistan.
According to some sources, Shamsullo Sohibov is a son-in-law of the incumbent President Emomali Rahmon; he is reportedly married to Rahmon’s third daughter Parvina.
