Dear teachers, staff and dear students of “Silk Road” International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage! With all my heart I congratulate you on the coming year 2024. I wish peace of mind to your family, good health to you and high achievements in your scientific activities.  It is worth recognising that in today’s rapidly developing world such professors as you show enthusiasm in educating the younger generation, in preparing comprehensively educated and qualified specialists for the tourism sphere, which is growing day by day. As you know, the active participation of our students together with professors and lecturers of our university in conferences of international level organised in the city of Samarkand in 2023 and their recognition by the participants show how well educated and insightful our young generation is. One of the great news was that the Tourism Academy was opened in the outgoing year. This Tourism Academy will be significant for the student youth in that it will make a huge contribution to harmonising practice with theory. In addition, our university signed cooperation agreements with prestigious universities and organisations in many countries around the world. This is also of great significance for future academic and student exchanges, increasing mutual experiences. The outgoing year of 2023 has gone down in history as one of the best years in terms of the wide range of successes of our university staff. I hope that in new year, together with the staff, we will contribute to the reforms under the leadership of our president, realising ambitious plans.

Again, I congratulate all of you on the coming year 2024. The New Year may it be successful, favourable and blessed for our team!

Sincerely, Rector of “Silk Road” International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage A.A. Abdukhakimov
