It is known from the pages of history that Tashkent has long been one of the places on the Great Silk Road, where trade, science, crafts and culture flourished. Remains of human bones and rock paintings found in a cave near Khojikent, Bostanlyk region, indicate that primitive people lived in this oasis in ancient times. Tashkent region was formed in 1938 and borders the Republic of Kazakhstan in the north and north-west, the Kyrgyz Republic in the north-east, Namangan region in the east and the Republic of Tajikistan in the south.

This region is located in the northeast of the country and is one of the most developed and fastest growing regions in the country. The region is rapidly developing in all spheres, including industry, production technologies and tourism, which is one of the most important areas of economic growth in developed countries.

Tashkent region is distinguished by its unique nature, location and history. This region opens its doors to local and foreign tourists in two main areas: pilgrimage and ecological tourism. The regions and cities of Bostanlik, Parkent, Zangiota, Angren, Almalyk deserve special attention. In particular, the Parkent and Zangiota districts are leading in the field of pilgrim tourism, and the Bostanlyk district and the city of Angren are leading in these two directions: pilgrimage and ecological tourism.

If Bostanlyk region is famous for free tourist zone at Charvak, the Ugam-Chatkal National Park and the Charvak reservoir, thеn Parkent is known for its green hills, traditions and ancient monuments, and Zangiota, which has an Islamic history, is one of the many pilgrimage sites for local and foreign visitors.

Currently, at the initiative of our state and personally the President of our country, a number of measures are being implemented aimed at the further development of tourism. In particular, taking into account the favorable conditions created for investors, a number of large projects were implemented in Bostanlik region, the best of which is undoubtedly the “Amirsoy” Ski Resort.
Currently, the second stage of this tourist facility under construction is in the center of attention of tourists from all over the world, and in the future it is planned to further increase the tourist potential through international competitions.
