In innovative move Uzbek embassy in Delhi inaugurates ‘Virtual Tours to Uzbekistan’

It was simply spectacular. Sitting in the midst of scorching Delhi, citizens were transported within seconds to the barren beauty of Central Asia. In a new project, developed in collaboration with the Indian IT company “Routern.com”, visitors to the imposing embassy precincts in Delhi, can now take a virtual 3D tour through the magnificent country courtesy the “Virtual Tours to Uzbekistan”.
The program, viewed with a special equipment, consists of 3D-pictures of the sights of Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva. Using the device, a person begins to travel on the streets of Tashkent, admires the magnificent architecture of the Registan Square in Samarkand, and then “strolls’ through the exotic bazaars of Bukhara.
The presentation of this project, which took place on Monday, July 1st, at the Uzbek embassy, was a pleasant surprise for the guests, which included those like “football star” of India Baichung Bhutia, chairman of the Indo-Uzbek Friendship Society and well-known public figure Anil Shastri, representatives of leading media and major travel agencies of India.
Another important part of the event was the participation of Indian school students with disabilities. When they “travelled” to Uzbekistan using devices, their joy and excitement knew no bounds and watching them some even teared up. Special gifts from the embassy – national souvenirs – have become for them an additional positive charge.
During the event, the participants also got acquainted with the permanent presentation of the spiritual and cultural heritage of the Uzbek people at the embassy. Along with this, the guests were shown videos about the modern development and tourism potential of Uzbekistan.
