A large number of exhibitors from the central and inner Asian region attended the recent ITB Berlin which drew together people working in the travel industry and people who want to catch up on the most beautiful travel destinations. The combination of trade exhibition, public exhibition and the biggest professional convention worldwide attracted tens of thousands of visitors, exhibitors and media representatives. This year was the 30th anniversary of the International Tourism Exchange (ITB).

Exhibitors from Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan  offered their varied range of products and attractions under one roof. Mongolia emphasized the uniqueness of the nomads of the steppes and their fascinating culture. Visitors understood how mystical traditions and an untouched natural world combine to create a breath-taking experience, and were made aware of the traditional hospitality of a proud people. On the Active and Adventure Tours stand visitors saw for themselves a genuine yurt, giving them an authentic impression of the everyday life of the nomads.
