Uzbekistan launches unified digital tourism platform for visitors

Uzbekistan rolled out its unified national tourism platform on July 1, 2026, following a presidential decree signed by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. The initiative is part of a broad effort to bring the country’s rapidly growing tourism industry fully into the digital age, as reported by gazeta.uz.

The platform and its companion mobile app consolidate several services in a single experience: an integrated ticketing system covering museums, cultural-heritage sites and leisure facilities; interactive digital guides with audio and video tours of historic landmarks; automatic accommodation check-in; and instant e-SIM activation for foreign visitors, so travelers can be connected the moment they arrive.

For anyone heading to Uzbekistan, the practical benefit is clear — fewer queues, fewer separate apps, and a smoother path from the airport to the Registan. Planning a route through Samarkand, Bukhara, or Khiva just got considerably easier.
