Uzbekistan aims for active development of mountain tourism
Uzbekistan has set its sights on mountain tourism as a key component of its new strategy. In addition to its well-known historical and cultural attractions, the country is now promoting its spectacular mountainous regions, especially around the Tashkent region, to attract adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers from around the world.
With its world-class mountains that can be enjoyed year-round, Uzbekistan offers a variety of outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking, and mountain biking. Developing infrastructure in these regions, including ski resorts and trails, is a priority for the country, ensuring that visitors can experience the natural beauty of Uzbekistan's landscapes with modern amenities and safety, according to Travel And Tour World.
The mountain tourism initiative is part of Uzbekistan's broader efforts to showcase the diverse attractions it has to offer beyond its famous Silk Road cities and UNESCO World Heritage sites.
The promotion of mountain tourism also aligns with Uzbekistan's strategy to attract a wider range of visitors, including those interested in MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) events and weddings, by showcasing the country's diversity as a tourist destination.
As TravelWise reported, travelers to Uzbekistan have the opportunity to explore a variety of overnight options. These can include both yurt towns and luxury hotels that have received UNESCO awards.
