Islamabad, The Gulf Observer: According to a report by CNN, Uzbekistan, once poised for acclaim in the travel industry before the pandemic, is now emerging as a compelling destination due to ambitious reforms aimed at transforming the country into a world-class travel spot.
The article notes that Uzbekistan offers visa-free access to citizens from 86 countries, showcasing pristine landscapes and well-preserved architecture to captivate visitors. Highlighting the historical significance of Uzbekistan as a central point on the Silk Road, CNN encourages exploration of cities like Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva.
Additionally, the mountainous village of Sentob, recognized by UNESCO for sustainable development, particularly in nature, organic food, and eco and mountain tourism, adds to the country’s allure.
