Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On 4-7 August 2022, the Travel Forum will be held in Moscow at the industrial site of VDNKh (Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy), where Uzbekistan will take part as a partner state.

The event was organized by the Roscongress Foundation in cooperation with the Federal Agency for Tourism (Rostourism) and VDNKh. The forum will be held with the support of the Russian Geographical Society and the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR).

In March 2022, an action plan was signed between Russia and Uzbekistan to jointly increase the tourist flow. In particular, it is planned to hold a "year of tourism" in Russia and Uzbekistan, to develop the "Great Silk Road" tourist destination, etc.

“We, as the organizers of the forum, are proud that this year Uzbekistan has become a partner state. It is a country with a rich history and ancient architectural monuments. In recent years, many Russians especially revere Uzbekistan. The guests of the forum will get acquainted with the sights, directions and infrastructure of Uzbekistan. In addition, they will have the opportunity to taste pilaf prepared by the best chefs in Tashkent,” said Vladimir Zatinayko, Deputy Director of the Roscongress Foundation.

At the forum, the delegation of Uzbekistan, consisting of representatives of the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Heritage, the State Unitary Enterprise "National PR Center", the National Airline "Uzbekistan Airways", JSC "Uzsharobsanoat", together with business entities and artisans in the field of tourism, will present two stands at once: a business stand and a stand dedicated to the tourism potential and culture of the country.

The business stand will be placed in pavilion 55, where new addresses and tourist destinations of the country will be presented. Also, representatives of the International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage "Silk Road" will talk about the possibilities of obtaining education in the field of tourism. In turn, a stand dedicated to the tourism potential and culture of Uzbekistan will be located on the territory adjacent to pavilion No. 55.

Here, the Uzbek delegation will provide information on the work of artisans, Uzbek national cuisine, various types of tourism, as well as organize a tasting of wines produced in Uzbekistan, and master classes in the manufacture of handicrafts.

Also, within the framework of the forum, it is planned to hold negotiations with representatives of state organizations of the Russian Federation, organize meetings with subjects of the Russian tourism industry in the B2B format, as well as participate in plenary discussions and conferences.
