Tourism Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan

The development of gastronomic and wellness tourism is one of the promising areas for diversifying Uzbekistan’s tourism offering. More and more travelers are considering not only cultural heritage when choosing a destination, but also the quality of local cuisine, opportunities for a healthy lifestyle, and modern leisure formats. In this context, the development of vegan and vegetarian cuisine contributes to the creation of new tourism products and enhances the country’s appeal to various categories of travelers.

The event will bring together representatives of the diplomatic community, tourism companies, the restaurant industry, the wellness sector, and relevant organizations. One of the key speakers will be Dr. Nikhila, Director of Lifestyle & Wellness, an expert in healthy living and nutrition, and a PhD holder in Ayurveda. The festival program will also include an expert discussion, professional networking opportunities, and a presentation of a signature vegan menu prepared by Indian and Uzbek chefs.

Hosting such events contributes to the development of gastronomic and wellness tourism, strengthens international cooperation, expands Uzbekistan’s tourism offerings, and promotes the country as a modern destination for travelers seeking a healthy lifestyle, high-quality cuisine, and new travel experiences.
