In a bid to boost tourism, Uzbekistan will introduce 30-day visa-free
travel for tourists of 20 countries, mostly Central American ones, from
January 1, 2020, according to a presidential decree issued, Xinhua
reported.
The number of countries that Uzbekistan has introduced
30-day visa-free regime within a year has now reached 85 and the
authorities of this Central Asian state say this not a limit.
"I
must say that the head of the country gave very serious instructions to
introduce a visa-free regime with a number of large states. I think that
within a month these decisions will be brought to your attention," Aziz
Abdukhakimov, Uzbekistan's deputy prime minister, told reporters on
Tuesday.
Uzbekistan's government has been taking a set of
measures to boost tourism. The government's aim is to attract more than 9
million foreign tourists by 2025 and increase the share of the tourism
industry in the gross domestic product from 2.3 percent in 2017 to 5
percent in 2025.
