Interest among Indian tourists in visiting Uzbekistan has been growing rapidly. In 2025, more than 80000 Indian citizens visited Uzbekistan's historic cities, and current trends indicate that the number will reach 100000 in 2026.

 The increase in visitor numbers results from three factors first Uzbekistan's location second its extensive cultural and historical sites and third its recent visa process improvements which include e-visa implementation and enhanced air travel connections that will reach almost 20 weekly flights by April 2026.

Uzbekistan received the VETA Award for exceptional tourism development achievements on the exhibition's opening day showing its growing presence as a tourist destination in Asia. The recognition demonstrates how successful the current reforms and marketing activities have been for the industry.
