Uzbekistan's Khiva province has been declared the OIC City of Tourism for 2024, the statement added.
The three-day event, under the theme The Role of Local Communities in Tourism Development, began on Monday.
The OIC is the second-largest inter-governmental body after the UN, with its 57 member states spread across four continents.
It was established in 1969 at a historic summit in Rabat, Morocco's capital, in response to an arson attack on the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem.
