Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Uzbekistan’s tourist potential is becoming more recognizable and in demand by tourists and guests from around the world, according to opinions of representatives of the foreign public, tourism professionals and the media.

Li, executive director of the Kurash Federation of Singapore, said the measures taken by the leadership of Uzbekistan to liberalize the visa policy indicate the country’s openness.

- Simplification of the visa system is nothing more than a good opportunity to get in touch with the culture and history of the country, to learn about its modern development. Our federation already had the possibility of visa-free entry into Uzbekistan in 2018. We hope that in 2019 we will be able to make a significant contribution to the popularization of Kurash, which is also a traditional national sport, both in the Southeast Asian region and in the rest of the world, he said.

General Manager of the National Association of Travel Agencies of Singapore (NATAS) M.Ismail highly appreciated the decision to grant visa-free entry to Uzbekistan to citizens of another 45 countries.

- The visa-free regime has played a big role in increasing the number of travelers from Singapore to your country. In particular, after the declaration of a visa-free regime on February 10, the figure increased three times in one year, the General Manager stressed
