01:10with 107 airports in 40 countries, with services operated by 45 airlines.
01:18But the numbers tell only part of the story.
01:21Behind this growth are changes in how Uzbekistan is developing its tourism sector
01:27and welcoming visitors.
01:28Let's take a closer look at what is happening on the ground.
01:32Samarkand is one of Uzbekistan's best-known Silk Road destinations.
01:36Its international airport handled 1.5 million passengers in 2025.
01:42Three times its 2022 total.
01:46In 2025 we were completed 24 aviation companies in 30 directions.
01:52There were 10 new directions only in the last year.
01:56We are actively developing flights to China.
02:01We are working on the opening of flights to East-West Asia.
02:05Its modern terminal opened in 2022, providing additional capacity for passengers.
02:12As Uzbekistan looks to attract more international visitors,
02:15infrastructure like this airport is becoming an important part of the country's tourism expansion.
02:20Across Uzbekistan, new accommodation facilities added more than 22,000 beds in the first seven months of 2026.
02:29Exports of tourism services reached nearly 3.9 billion dollars.
02:34The government also subsidizes qualifying charter flights and selected tourism start-ups.
02:40The new Jiroli Danman Guberta train has cut the Tashkent-Hiva journey from 14 hours to 7.5.
02:47Today we are providing service for more than 10 cities in Uzbekistan for high-speed trains which we are going
02:54to increase year by year.
02:56One of these projects is a dedicated rail line for the passengers from Tashkent to Samarkand with a speed limit
03:04up to 300 kilometers per hour.
03:06But visitors also judge destinations by the services they receive.
03:10For others, feeling safe is just as important.
03:22After visiting Uzbekistan, I felt all the time very secure.
03:27I think the security is my last problem in Uzbekistan, feeling everywhere free.
03:33As tourism grows, Uzbekistan is also looking beyond its established destinations,
03:39developing new attractions and experiences to bring visitors to more parts of the country.
03:44Joining us now is Laibek Hakimov, advisor to the chairman of Uzbekistan's tourism committee.
03:50Mr. Hakimov, what measures is Uzbekistan taking to make the country easier and more appealing to travel to?
03:56Mr. Hakimov, it was a veryелю Hinboost honor and the public.
04:12For the audience, there are many many other challenges that we are continuing to ensure предлагates our courage and opportunities
04:19to enforce in Uzbekistan.
