The year 2024 has been one of great productivity and rich in pleasant news for our country and the university. The coming year 2025 will be the year of environmental protection and green economy, which will also be a year of conquering great heights and rich achievements for all of us. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere congratulations to you on the coming year 2025. I wish your family peace of mind, good health and high achievements in scientific activities.

         Dear lecturers, staff and students of “Silk Road” International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage, it is clear to everyone that today the tourism industry is growing day by day. You have your position and contribution in the development of this sphere. It should be said that the passing year of 2024 was productive for our university in the direction of education, in scientific research and in the establishment of international relations. The work and efforts of the staff of our university can be found in these practical affairs. It is known that active participation of our students and recognition of participants together with professors and lecturers of our university in conferences of international level organized in Samarkand and in our university in 2024 shows how educated and perspective our youth is. We can say that one of the main news was the opening of the Tourism Academy last year and the visit of Olaf Schols, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, to this place. The opportunities created at the Academy of Tourism provide an excellent opportunity for young students to harmoniously combine practice with theory. In addition, our university has signed cooperation agreements with prestigious universities and organizations in many countries around the world. This also plays a role in future academic and student exchanges, increasing mutual experiences.

         The year 2024 has become history as one of the best years in terms of the breadth of success of our university staff. I hope that in the new year 2025, the year of environmental protection and green economy, together with the staff we will contribute to the reforms implemented by our president, reaching great heights.

         I once again congratulate all of you on the new year 2025. May the New Year be successful, favorable and blessed for our team!

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