Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on Thursday (February 2) inspected the Oltin Ipak Karvonsaroyi tourist center in the city of Margilan, which illustrates the atmosphere and life of old Uzbek houses, the press service reports.
The complex’s ground floor was designed for carpet weaving, embroidery, and coffer crafts workshops, where tourists can witness national products. The second floor has a caravanserai with a capacity of 30 people. The complex is set to welcome over 10 thousand tourists a year in the future.
‘In the current age of high technology, you miss such simple, soulful places. Our ancestors created these crafts, this culture, investing not only labor but also a particle of their soul. At one time, crafts were on the verge of extinction', President said. 'It is necessary not only to promote our culture among foreign guests but also to introduce it to our children,’ the head of state concluded.
In 2022 the city of Margilan received the status of the ‘World City of Masters’ for silk and ikat.
