Tashkent as a Backdrop
Setting matters. Tashkent is worth traveling to. Uzbekistan's capital is one of those cities that surprise you the moment you arrive. Expect wide Soviet-era boulevards, beautiful Islamic architecture, and good food. If you’re lucky, you’ll have a decorated metro system to travel to your destinations. Spend a morning at Chorsu Bazaar, an afternoon at the book fair, and an evening eating plov in an outdoor courtyard, and you'll start to notice you should've traveled here earlier. The city is modern enough to be comfortable and old enough to be endlessly interesting.
More Than Just Books
What is most exciting is that Tashkent Book Fest is also for people not normally interested. The atmosphere is friendly, the program offers entertainment for all ages, and the cultural interaction between them is engaging and intriguing. One thing is for sure, the fest has a rich and deep history within Uzbekistan and it is a good threshold between the history of the arts and the present of literature. You can easily leave this event wondering what you just purchased and what new thoughts you created.
To Travel Agents, DMCs, and Corporate Incentive Planners
Things are about to get really interesting. The Tashkent Book Fest is the first incentive-based travel opportunity to touch down in Uzbekistan.
