The Association of Private Tourism Agencies of Uzbekistan (APTA) continues to actively develop sustainable tourism. Within the framework of The USAID Future Growth Initiative, training process for five tour operators from Uzbekistan under the international "Travelife" program has begun.

There are five leading companies which participate in this flow, they will be trained and certified in the coming months, confirming their commitment to sustainable tourism.

The “Travelife Program” is not just a certificate. It is a comprehensive platform aimed at implementing the principles of responsible tourism. Obtaining "Travelife Partner" status opens up opportunities for the long-term development of sustainable tourism in the country, which contributes to a more conscious interaction with natural and cultural resources, as well as improving the image of Uzbekistan in the international tourism arena.

Previously, Asia Adventures and Orient Voyages have already received "Travelife Partner" status, having been trained in the first group of tour operators. These companies have become an example for subsequent participants of the program, demonstrating that sustainable tourism is the future of the industry.

Over the next 2-3 months, the program participants will not only learn and implement the principles of sustainable tourism in their business processes, but will also be able to become part of the global "Travelife" community covering more than 100 countries. The training covers key aspects of sustainable tourism management, which helps tour operators to increase their competitiveness and strengthen their market position.

The "Travelife" initiative in Uzbekistan is an important step towards the formation of a sustainable tourism industry that meets not only the demands of today, but also future challenges.
