The company «In the world of imaginations» intends to organize a charter flight from Moscow to Uzbekistan. Company General Director Marina Saushkina gave information on country presentation within the framework of MITF tourist exhibition which held in Moscow. Probably, the beginning of flights will take place during this season. Negotiations with air carriers are already conducted.

The adviser for trade and economic issues of Uzbekistan Embassy in Russia Alisher Pajgamov has told RATA-news that - «Our country visits about 100 thousand Russian citizens a year, and only 40 thousand of them come with the tourist purposes». Our compatriots do not enter even into the first six of the countries which are in the lead on arrivals of tourists to Uzbekistan. The most part of the country visitors are the citizens of France, Japan, China, South Korea, Italy and Germany. In total Uzbekistan annually accepts up to 300 thousand tourists.

The embassy of Uzbekistan in Russia is extremely interested in country advancement in the Russian tourist market and firmly intends to return the lost positions. After all in a Soviet period Samarkand was the second city for tourists in the USSR after Leningrad (Saint Petersburg). «Demand for trips to Uzbekistan grows on 30-40 % annually », - Mrs. Saushkina said. However to estimate the quantity of tourists from Russia will be really difficult. High tourist season in this country is from March till November. According to the expert, behind this direction, as well as behind other states of Central Asia, the tourism has a wonderful future. Uzbekistan is recognized as one of the safest countries on all post-Soviet territory. Foreigner Guests are treated friendly here in Uzbekistan and accept with the big kindliness. Visitors can see ancient cities with rich history and tremendous kitchen. Probably, therefore the skilled travelers are choosing itineraries by duration of 8-12 days go to Uzbekistan more often.
