Uzbekistan, on the route of the ancient Silk Road, is a country rich in historical and cultural heritage, giving it considerable tourist potential. Infrastructure is improving and attractions, including skiing places, are being developed. Despite the effects of the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks in the US, which resulted in a temporary downturn in worldwide tourism, visitor numbers are rising. Thus, a large number of discount hotels in Uzbekistan have been established around the country to attract travelers from around the world.
Uzbekistan, in the ancient cradle between the Amu-Darya and Syr-Darya rivers, is the most historically fascinating of the Central Asian republics. Within Uzbekistan are some of the oldest towns in the world, some of the Silk Road's main centers and most of the region's architectural splendors.
