Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — The Competition Development Committee is monitoring publications in the media and on social networks to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Law on Advertising.

Special attention was given to advertising materials of tour operators offering services for organizing and conducting Umrah pilgrimages. Inspections carried out by the territorial departments in Navoi and Samarkand regions revealed that the companies A-HELLO LLC, SM Tower Tour LLC, and RAYXONA TOUR LLC had placed advertisements without the required license, thereby violating the law. As a result, cases were initiated against them and financial penalties were imposed.

In addition, the Committee’s territorial divisions in Fergana, Namangan, Samarkand, and Surkhandarya regions held representatives of eight Telegram and Instagram channels administratively liable — “Umra safari 2025,” “Makka madina Sayohat,” “Saudiyaga Sayohat Muhammadyusuf,” “iamalimusim,” “IYMONA TRAVEL,” “HIKMAT TRAVEL,” “Makka va Madinaga Ziyorat,” as well as Tashabbus Travel LLC — for also disseminating advertisements without meeting the established requirements.

The agency stressed that, based on the analysis, measures will be taken in strict accordance with current legislation.
