Sophie Ibbotson, Ambassador of the Tourism Brand of Uzbekistan to Great Britain, shared practical recommendations for the restoration of tourism in Uzbekistan during the pandemic. Below is the full text of Sophie Ibbotson’s video message. 2020 has been a disastrous year for the travel industry. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, not only Uzbekistan, but the whole world is in crisis. In 2021, we are seeing a gradual recovery in tourism. For now, in the field of domestic tourism, and, I hope, by the end of the year we will be able to welcome the first foreign tourists from all over the world.
What needs to be done for this? First of all, we must prepare for a phased recovery of the entire tourism sector throughout the year and be confident in what we are doing to develop the industry. This respite lays the foundation for a long-term and sustainable recovery in this area.
