These companies are among the most prominent players in the UAE tourism market. Founded in 1977, Al Rais Travel operates 27 offices and represents 19 airlines. Nirvana Travel & Tourism, established in Abu Dhabi in 2007, was recognised by the World Travel Awards in 2025 as the “World’s Leading Tour Operator” and the “World’s Leading Business Travel Management Company”. Dnata Travel operates in the tourism and air travel sectors across more than 35 countries.
During the talks, the parties discussed practical measures to increase tourist flows from the United Arab Emirates and other countries in the region to Uzbekistan. Particular attention was paid to developing and promoting travel packages tailored to families, independent travellers and young people, as well as the premium and MICE segments.
An agreement was reached to organise webinars and training presentations for the companies’ managers and partner agencies. These sessions will showcase Uzbekistan’s tourism opportunities, new routes and accommodation facilities, entry requirements, transport accessibility, as well as the country’s cultural, gastronomic, pilgrimage and nature-based tourism offerings.
The parties also agreed to establish an exchange of market research and statistical data and to conduct joint analysis of tourist demand and preferences across the region. The results of this work will serve as a basis for developing tailored tourism products and implementing targeted promotional campaigns.
Further areas of cooperation include placing Uzbekistan travel packages across the companies’ sales channels, conducting joint advertising campaigns, organising familiarisation trips for leading tour operators and media representatives, and promoting special seasonal offers.
Representatives of the companies expressed their interest in participating in the upcoming Tashkent International Tourism Fair, scheduled to take place in November 2026.
