Tashkent to host International Tourism Fair "Tourism on the Silk Road"

From 30 November to 2 December, Tashkent will host the 27th Tashkent International Tourism Fair "Tourism on the Silk Road" (TITF) 2022. 

The organizers of the fair are the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Heritage of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the State Unitary enterprise "National PR-center", exhibition company "SAYS" represented by "THE SAYS LOT" LLC. The pavilion of the National Exhibition Complex "UzExpocentre" has traditionally been chosen as the venue for the fair.

The Tashkent International Tourism Fair is an information platform that helps promote tourism products and establish business contacts and cooperation. TITF has been held since 1995 with the support of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). Every year the exhibition brings together hundreds of professionals from the tourism industry and creates conditions for the development of this industry at the international level.

As part of TITF 2022, conferences, B2B meetings, round tables, exhibitions of tourism services and handicrafts, presentations of regions of Uzbekistan with tourism potential, a gastro-bazaar with master classes in cooking national dishes will be organized.

The fair will bring together experts from the tourism business from all over the world and will be useful to all representatives of this field: employees of leading travel and transport companies, airlines, major hotel chains, diplomatic corps, educational institutions in the field of tourism.

The speakers of the forum within the framework of TITF will be leading international and domestic experts in the field of tourism. Visitors and participants of the fair will have a unique chance to learn about new tourist destinations, assess the tourism potential of new locations in the country, plunge into the colorful atmosphere, culture and traditions of each region of Uzbekistan.

It is necessary to note the significant support of TITF from the state. Thus, in January 2019, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed the Decree “On additional measures for the accelerated development of tourism”. In addition, a Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On measures to organize the annual Tashkent International Tourism Fair “Tourism on the Silk Road” was issued. It was these documents that determined the positive dynamics of the development of the international tourism fair.

TITF 2022 will be held in a hybrid format. The first day of the fair, November 30, starts with the official opening ceremony. A rich program is expected, which will include handicraft master classes, a cultural program with presentations of the regions of the country, a gastro-bazaar with a presentation of the national cuisine of Uzbekistan and an official reception on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

The second and third days of the fair, December 1-2, will continue with a show of artisans, a presentation of the regions, a gastro-bazaar and a master class from the eminent chef Chustiy. The third day of TITF will end with a festive closing ceremony.
