Uzbekistan Plans to Host 50 Million-Plus Foreign Bloggers
Uzbekistan's President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has issued directives to arrange information tours for over 50 foreign bloggers, each with a follower base exceeding 10 million individuals.
Moreover, the nation is gearing up to launch a competition aimed at generating content about its national tourism brand by October 1. To facilitate these initiatives, a budget of $5 million has been earmarked for the current year.
In line with enhancing the tourism experience, ministries and departments have been tasked with refining the electronic visa system and introducing a mobile application to streamline tourist services.
This ambitious effort is part of Uzbekistan’s broader goal to attract 11 million foreign visitors and bolster tourism revenues to $2.5 billion this year.
