The first tour to Uzbekistan for Ukrainians
From 20 to 22 October, 2008, tour operators of OrexCA.com conducted a tour for a group of Ukrainian tourists and tour operators - representing the fruit of many months of work to open the Uzbek tourism market to Ukraine. It was the first group of tourists served from Ukraine in the history of OrexCA.com, and as far as we know - the first such group to Uzbekistan in several years.
Ukrainians have liked Uzbekistan, with its hospitable people, nature, rich traditions, stable society, and great cuisine. Even the most experienced travelers in the group, who have visited 45 countries all over the planet, gave the highest assessment of the country as a unique tourist destination, which has tremendous potential as a destination for their countrymen.
Ukrainian Brothers, welcome to Uzbekistan!
The conference “Promoting the Great Silk Road on the World Tourism Market”, organized by UNWTO and NC “Uzbektourism” occurred at the Tashkent International Tourism Fair (TITF) of 2008. The Marketing Director of our company, Mr. Michael Shamshidov, made a presentation on the topic “Tourism Portals - a Vital Communication Tool”. For the first time in its 5 year history, the Central Asian tourism Internet portal, OrexCA.com, was very widely represented in the tourism industry of Uzbekistan, and also featured guests from the countries of conference participants including Ms. Sandra Carvao, the representative of UNWTO. Mr. Shamshidov presented a refined and amended version of the presentation he made for the first time in September, 2007 at the international conference “Tourcom”, held by UNWTO in Tbilisi, Georgia.
On 11-12 October, 2008, OrexCA.com organized a corporate get-together at the dacha in the Charvak Mountains.
All had a great time preparing their National dishes, including sumptuous Uzbek pilaf, Indian kari, and cocktails with Riga balsam; relaxing in the scorching Russian sauna and cooling off in the pool; and hiking in the mountains.
On 2 October, 2008, a friendly bowling match was held between partner companies OrexCA.com and Samarkand Airways Golden Travel.
Despite the overwhelming numerical advantage of the “OrexCAnians”, during the brutal competition, accompanied by cheers, leaping and clinking of beer mugs, the Samarkand Airways Golden Travel company won by a score of 3:2.
Fighting for the right to defend OrexCA, Olya, Venera, and Maria selflessly struggled with the opposition. The rest were a little more focused on beer and conversation
