The President of Tajikistan declared 2019-2021 to be years of the development of tourism and folk crafts. In that spirit, consider the natural beauty and cultural richness of Tajikistan, the high mountains of Pamir, and the unique nature of this republic with seven great lakes, all of which are of great interest to foreign tourists and guests. The necessary conditions have been created for the development of a tourism industry which undoubtedly can attract foreign visitors, because from year to year the number of tourists visiting Tajikistan is growing. The success of tourism in the country is developing rapidly, and suggests that the number of foreign guests will grow even more in the future. The rapid growth of tourism in Tajikistan has attracted the attention of world`s large information agencies, such as New York Times, BBC, World Tourism Organization, National Geographic, the British magazine “Wanderlust,” “The Independent”, and many others. In 2020, the New York Times, in its famous annual 52 places to visit, lists Tajikistan in 33rd place, while the World Tourism Organization considered Tajikistan as taking second place in the development of tourism in the world. The BBC declared Tajikistan among the top ten destinations in the field of adventure tourism. National Geographic admired Pamir Highway along with its mountains, and says: “Pamir Highway [is] among ten beautiful mountain passes in the world.”
