The first "Joint Forum on Global Tourism Investment" will be held in Dushanbe

With the support of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Committee for Tourism Development under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, in cooperation with the World Tourism Organization, will hold the “Joint Global Tourism Investment Forum” for the first time in Dushanbe on September 16–18, 2025.

It should be noted that since 2007, the Republic of Tajikistan has been a full-fledged member of the World Tourism Organization, and the organization of the “Joint Global Tourism Investment Forum” will contribute to strengthening the country’s position among member states, achieving the objectives of the Investment Attraction Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan until 2040, and ensuring the effective implementation of the third phase of the Tourism Development Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan until 2030, which is aimed at attracting investments.

The Forum will be attended by heads of tourism authorities from UNWTO member countries, representatives of national ministries and agencies, local government officials, members of the diplomatic corps accredited in Dushanbe, development partners, national tourism associations, domestic tour operators, hotels, resorts, educational institutions that train tourism specialists, industry experts, information and service centers, as well as local and international journalists and bloggers.

The Forum will discuss issues of mutual cooperation and the exchange of significant experiences among UNWTO member states, investment attraction, infrastructure development, and the broader promotion of the country’s tourism potential.

The membership of our country in the World Tourism Organization, which is one of the 12 specialized agencies of the United Nations, provides significant benefits, not only in terms of learning from advanced global practices and participating in the resolution of current sectoral issues, but also in shaping and further strengthening the country’s image as a tourism destination.

Moreover, this membership and the organization of such high-level events will create favorable conditions for conducting marketing analyses and identifying the country’s resources and opportunities in the tourism sector.
