More than 1.5 million Uzbek citizens visited Kyrgyzstan since the beginning of 2025, reports the National Committee on Statistics of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
According to data analysis, in the first half of the year, the Kyrgyz Republic became the most popular destination for tourists from Uzbekistan. Over six months, the country was visited by more than 1.5 million people. This accounts for almost half of all trips by Uzbeks abroad for tourism purposes.
In total, during the specified period, more than 3.5 million Uzbeks traveled abroad, which is 810 thousand people, or 29.7 percent more than in the same period last year.
Among other popular destinations are Kazakhstan (664.6 thousand people), Tajikistan (631.6 thousand), Russia (230.4 thousand), and Saudi Arabia (145.2 thousand). Tourists from Uzbekistan also chose Turkey, UAE, Egypt, Thailand, and Vietnam for trips.
The growth in interest in foreign travel is due to improved transport accessibility, increased air connectivity, and demand for religious and family tourism. Kyrgyzstan maintains its status as the main and closest tourism partner of Uzbekistan thanks to close cultural and economic ties, as well as visa-free regime and convenient transport infrastructure.
