Pack your bags, adventurers! 🎒 China and Uzbekistan are stepping up their travel game. Starting from 2025, both countries will introduce a 30-day visa-free travel policy for each other's citizens, making explorations between East and Central Asia smoother than ever! 🌏
But that's not all! New direct flights are in the works, so get ready for shorter journeys and more time to immerse yourself in vibrant cultures. 🕌✈️
From January to October 2024, Uzbekistan welcomed approximately 6.5 million foreign tourists. Now, with the visa-free policy, Umid Shadiev, chairman of the Tourism Committee of Uzbekistan, aims to attract 1 million Chinese tourists each year. Talk about ambitious goals! 🎯
This move not only strengthens the bond between the two nations but also opens up a world of opportunities for travelers seeking new adventures. So, who's up for adding Uzbekistan to their travel bucket list? 📝🌄
