Today, I had the pleasure of meeting with Douglas Grimes, President of #MIR Corporation, and Vice President Annie Lucas in #Seattle. For years, @MIRCorp has been at the forefront of crafting exceptional journeys across #CentralAsia, opening doors for #American travelers to experience one of the world’s most captivating regions. Our conversation focused on unlocking the immense potential of #Uzbekistan, a land where ancient #SilkRoad cities, breathtaking architecture, and vibrant traditions come together to tell a story unlike anywhere else on #Earth. From the majestic domes of #Samarkand to the timeless streets of #Bukhara and #Khiva, Uzbekistan offers a rare blend of history, authenticity, and wonder. We explored new ideas to bring this extraordinary heritage closer to travelers in the #UnitedStates - highlighting not only #Uzbekistan, but the broader #CentralAsian region as an emerging destination of global significance. With its rich culture, warm hospitality, and remarkable safety, the region stands out as one of the world’s most underrated tourism treasures - still largely undiscovered, yet ready to inspire millions. *** Bugun #Sietlda @mircorp prezidenti Douglas Grimes va vitse-prezidenti Annie Lucas bilan uchrashdik. Ko‘p yillardan buyon MIR Corporation #MarkaziyOsiyo bo‘ylab sayohatlarni tashkil etishda yetakchilardan biri bo‘lib, #Amerikalik sayyohlarga dunyoning eng jozibador hududlaridan birini kashf etish imkonini yaratib kelmoqda. Suhbatimiz O‘zbekistonning ulkan turizm salohiyatini ochib berishga qaratildi. Bu zamin qadimiy Ipak Yo‘li shaharlari, hayratlanarli me’morchilik obidalari va rang-barang an’analari bilan dunyoda o‘xshashi yo‘q tarixiy hikoyani namoyon etadi. Muhtasham gumbazlari bilan mashhur #Samarqanddan tortib, betakror muhitga ega #Buxoro va #Xiva ko‘chalarigacha O‘zbekistonimiz tarix, asl madaniyat va ilhom uyg‘unlashgan noyob maskandir. Biz ushbu bebaho merosni AQShdagi sayyohlarga yanada yaqinlashtirish yo‘llarini muhokama qildik. Nafaqat O‘zbekiston, balki butun #MarkaziyOsiyo mintaqasini global ahamiyatga ega yangi sayyohlik yo‘nalishi sifatida targ‘ib etish masalalariga to‘xtaldik. Boy madaniyati, samimiy mehmondo‘stligi va yuqori darajadagi xavfsizligi bilan bu hudud dunyoning eng kam kashf etilgan, ammo ulkan salohiyatga ega sayyohlik xazinalaridan biri sifatida ajralib turadi.

#Slovenia is a #cycling nation that stunned the world with a 1-2 #TourdeFrance victory by @TamauPogi and @rogla. Eight out of ten Slovenes have a bike, and cyclists predominate in both the rural and urban landscape of Slovenia. (p: T. Jesenicnik, J. Gantar #photography) #tdftvs

Non bread for sale in Tashkent - studded with raisins and walnut pieces, sprinkled with sesame seeds... all it needs is some quince or mulberry jam and that is breakfast. Photo taken last year.
