Tourism Development International undertook the task of preparing an action plan for the sustainable development of Tourism in Uzbekistan.

The development objective was to establish in Uzbekistan an informed tourism policy, a basic tourism infrastructure of international standards, marketing expertise, and trained tourism officers within a one year timeframe. This would enable the country to expand its tourism industry in a planned, controlled and sustainable manner, in order to benefit from foreign revenue generation, increased employment, and international exposure. The Silk Route Cities of Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva were considered to be of major historic and cultural importance in the sustainable development of tourism.
