Cooperation between the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Republic of Kazakhstan in tourism is an important direction of bilateral relations and holds a special place within the broader framework of cultural and humanitarian ties between the two neighboring countries. Geographic proximity, a shared historical and cultural foundation, and the rich heritage of the Great Silk Road create favorable conditions for developing tourism interaction and strengthening friendly relations between the peoples.<\/p>\n
In recent years, there has been a steady increase in tourist exchanges between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. According to statistics, in 2018, Uzbekistan was visited by 2,293,077 citizens of Kazakhstan, and in 2019 \u2014 by 2,261,094 people. Despite a decline caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, numbers began to rise again in the following years: 1.55 million in 2022, 1.33 million in 2023, and by 2024, the number of tourists from Kazakhstan reached 2.88 million. In just January\u2013August 2025, nearly 2 million citizens of Kazakhstan visited Uzbekistan. These figures indicate a consistently growing interest among Kazakh citizens in Uzbekistan\u2019s cultural and historical heritage.<\/p>\n
Particular attention is being paid to promoting a unified tourist route along the Great Silk Road, connecting the historic cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, Turkestan, and Almaty. This project is considered one of the key tools for integrating the tourism markets of Central Asia.<\/p>\n
A landmark event in this regard was the launch in November 2024 of the tourist train \u201cJibek Joly\u201d on the route Almaty \u2014 Turkestan \u2014 Tashkent \u2014 Almaty. In October 2025, the tourist train \u201cJibek Joly-6.0\u201d resumed its journey along the route Almaty \u2013 Turkestan \u2013 Otrar \u2013 Samarkand \u2013 Bukhara \u2013 Tashkent \u2013 Almaty. This train not only promotes the development of railway tourism but also symbolizes the strong ties between the two countries, connecting major cultural centers in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n
Regular contacts between tourism companies and media representatives of the two countries also play an important role in strengthening these ties. Kazakh representatives traditionally participate in the Tashkent International Tourism Fair (TITF), while the Uzbek side participates in the Kazakhstan International Exhibition *Tourism & Travel* (KITF). Such events facilitate the exchange of experience, establishment of partnerships, and promotion of joint projects.<\/p>\n
In recent years, informational and promotional activities have also intensified: familiarization tours, filming of movies and TV programs about Uzbekistan\u2019s attractions, and visits by bloggers and journalists have been organized.<\/p>\n
Between 2023 and 2025, several important high-level visits took place, during which investment cooperation, promotion of cultural brands, and strengthening the region\u2019s image as a unified tourist space were discussed. In September 2025, the parties developed a draft Joint Action Plan for Tourism for 2025\u20132026, which is expected to be signed during the visit of Kazakh leadership to Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n
Thus, tourism cooperation between the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Republic of Kazakhstan is developing on a solid legal and contractual basis and demonstrates a stable positive dynamic. The parties are actively expanding forms of interaction \u2014 from exchanging experience and participating jointly in international forums to implementing large-scale investment projects. Considering the rich historical and cultural heritage, favorable geographic location, and strategic partnership, it can be confidently stated that Uzbekistan-Kazakhstan cooperation in tourism has significant potential for further growth and for strengthening mutual understanding between the two fraternal nations.<\/p>\n
