1. (U) Post knows of no recent events that would
impact on the proposed project (reftel) to remodel
Malika Hotels Khiva, Khorezm, and Khevak. Despite
the global economic downturn, the tourism sector in
Uzbekistan is still strong, fueled largely by
European retirees.
2. (U) Post has no information on Khiva Malikhasi
or O&S Consulting relating to potential ties to
terrorism, money laundering, corruption, or
violations of law.
3. (U) Post knows of nothing concerning any of the
participants that would cause us not to support the
project. On the contrary, Post has only the most
positive information concerning O&S Consulting.
Embassy personnel have stayed in Malika hotels in
the past as part of both official and personal
travel.
