Turkmenistan is one of the most promising tourist destinations in Central Asia. Despite its closed nature, it is a country with huge tourism potential. And sophisticated tourists who have studied the world's most popular resorts are increasingly turning their attention to countries where the tourism sector is just beginning to develop.
Representatives of the company justifiably believe that Turkmenistan has a huge potential for creating new routes and author's tours.
"Turkmenistan is one of the most unexplored and authentic destinations in Central Asia. The ancient cities of the Great Silk Road, the Karakum desert, the Darvaza crater and the rich cultural heritage create a unique tourist experience. LE TRAVEL Turkmenistan invites international partners to cooperate and develop joint tours. Visit our stand at MITT and open up new opportunities for working with the direction of Turkmenistan," LE TRAVEL representatives say.
"White marble" is not just a beautiful epithet. The city is indeed listed in the Guinness Book of Records as "the whitest marble city in the world". There are more than 500 buildings lined with snow-white marble. Since the building area is quite large and is as much as 22 km2, a unique impression is created as if the city is covered with a snow-white patterned blanket.
Would you like to take a look at the "Gates of Hell"? This is the burning gas crater Darvaza in the Karakum Desert. Back in the 70s, a group of Soviet geologists explored the desert for natural gas deposits. After the start of drilling at the point of the alleged source, the drilling rig collapsed. In order not to harm people and animals of the settlement, scientists decided to set fire to the gas, logically assuming that in a few days it would burn out completely. But something went wrong, and the crater has been blazing on a permanent basis since 1971. On the one hand, it is a luxury attraction that really attracts tourists, and on the other hand, it is a problematic source of methane emissions, so from time to time the country's authorities reflect on the idea of extinguishing the flames and closing the "gates of Hell" forever.
Merv is the oldest city in Central Asia, as well as the oldest of the oasis cities that have survived on the historical Silk Road. The famous poet and scientist Omar Khayyam worked in his observatory for several years. This city was awarded the title of "mother of cities", and there are not so many such ancient settlements in the history of the East. The city reached the peak of its development in the XII century, and in 1999 it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Participation in MITT is an important step to expand Turkmenistan's presence in the global tourism market and a way to strengthen professional ties with representatives of the tourism industry.
