Record growth of tourism in Uzbekistan
Since April, more than a million foreign tourists have visited Uzbekistan every month, which is a record figure in the country’s history.
In nine months, more than 8.6 million foreign tourists visited Uzbekistan, which is 112.5 percent more than in the same period last year.
According to the Uzbekistan Tourism Committee, this year the export of tourist services reached a record level, which exceeded $3.6 billion.
Unprecedented achievements in tourism are the result of deep reforms carried out under the leadership of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and aimed at developing the country’s tourism potential.
Active cooperation with the world’s leading media platforms, participation in international exhibitions, and publications in foreign media have significantly strengthened Uzbekistan’s brand on a global scale.
