“As a result of the global crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, tourism in our country has become one of the most severely damaged areas.

In 2020, a total of 1 million 504 thousand tourists visited Uzbekistan, we provided tourism services worth $261 million.

In 2021, we want to pay more attention to pilgrimage tourism,” Abdukhakimov said.

According to him, Uzbekistan plans to attract 1.7 million foreign tourists in the current year.
