In particular, the number of international tourist arrivals to Uzbekistan increased by 25% compared with 2025, demonstrating the country’s continued strengthening position in the global tourism market.

According to the report, approximately 690 million international tourist arrivals were recorded worldwide in January–June 2026. Against global growth of 0.4% and 3% growth in Europe, Uzbekistan’s 25% increase demonstrates the strong growth rate of the country’s tourism sector.

Against the backdrop of global tourism trends, Uzbekistan has demonstrated particularly strong growth in tourist activity. More than 6.6 million tourists visited the country during the first six months of 2026.

Uzbekistan’s leading position among European destinations in the UN Tourism ranking provides an important foundation for achieving the country’s target of increasing the number of international tourists to 20 million by 2030.
