Tourism represents a substantial and fast-growing sector of the

economy of

Uzbekistan

. The government of Uzbekistan under President

Shavkat Mirziyoyev

has

invested heavily in developing tourism as a high-growth potential industry, resulting

in an increase in international arrivals from approximately 1 million in 2016 to 7

million in 2023.

Uzbekistan's most-visited tourist sites are associated with the history of the

Silk

Road

, particularly the cities of

Bukhara

,

Khiva

, and

Samarkand

. The

Registan

ensemble

in Samarkand, a complex of three

madrasahs

dating from the 15-17th

centuries situated around the city's historic central square, is one of Uzbekistan's most-

visited landmarks, attracting more than 1 million visitors in 2022. Uzbekistan is home

to seven

UNESCO World Heritage Sites

, including the historical centres of Bukhara,

Samarkand, and

Shakhrisabz

, the birthplace of

Uzbekistan and tourism organizations are also working to develop other tourism areas,

such as

ecotourism

and

pilgrimage tourism

.

The government of Uzbekistan continues to invest in both developing tourism-

related infrastructure, and marketing Uzbekistan as a tourism destination.

The

Samarkand International Airport

was completely reconstructed in 2022 to triple its

capacity, and renovations of the

Tashkent International Airport

are ongoing as of

2024. Uzbekistan's Ministry of Culture and Tourism has partnered with international

media, streaming services, and social media influencers to promote the country's

tourism potential.

The southeast portion of the country contains the western ends of the

Tien

Shan

mountains, which attract active forms of tourism such as

mountaineering

and

rock climbing. Most well known for its ease of access from

Tashkent

is the

Greater

Chimgan

Peak (3,309 m) of the

Chatkal Range

. This place serves as a starting point for

many routes of hiking, climbing, horse riding, mountain skiing, and

hang-gliding

.

Uzbekistan has multiple ski and mountain resorts, including

Chimgan

, which was

constructed during the Soviet era, and

Amirsoy

, which opened in 2019. Both resorts

are open for visitors to enjoy during seasons other than winter
