Uzbekistan was declared the winner in the nomination “Top emerging destination”. The Ambassador of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the UK Alisher Shaykhov accepted the prize.

In his speech, the head of the diplomatic mission of our country thanked the organizers of the event, the editors and readers of the magazine for their interest in Uzbekistan, as well as the presentation of such a high award.

The event organizers noted that during the voting, Uzbekistan was able to outrun last year’s winner in this nomination – Iran, thanks to the rich cultural and historical heritage of the cities of Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva, as well as measures taken by the government of Uzbekistan to develop the country’s tourism market.
