Samarkand, a living museum on the Silk Road, grapples with a tourism boom

سمرقند، شاہراہ ریشم کا زندہ عجائب گھر، سیاحت کی تیزی سے نمٹ رہا ہے

Samarkand, a living museum on the Silk Road, grapples with a tourism boom

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • Samarkand, the historic Silk Road city in Uzbekistan and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is wrestling with how to protect its heritage as visitor numbers soar.
  • The city received around seven million visitors last year and more than 10 million in the first nine months of 2026, with about 14 million expected by year's end.
  • Its tourism university is training specialists and preparing Central Asia's first tourism observatory to track the boom's effect on jobs, the environment and daily life.
  • ازبکستان کا تاریخی شاہراہ ریشم شہر سمرقند، جو یونیسکو کے عالمی ورثے کی فہرست میں ہے، سیاحوں کی تعداد میں تیزی سے اضافے کے ساتھ اپنے ورثے کے تحفظ کی کوشش کر رہا ہے۔ شہر نے گزشتہ سال تقریباً ستر لاکھ سیاحوں کا استقبال کیا اور 2026 کے پہلے نو مہینوں میں ایک کروڑ سے زیادہ سیاح آئے، جبکہ سال کے آخر تک تقریباً ایک کروڑ چالیس لاکھ کی توقع ہے۔ اس کی سیاحت یونیورسٹی ماہرین تیار کر رہی ہے اور وسطی ایشیا کی پہلی سیاحت آبزرویٹری بنانے کی تیاری کر رہی ہے تاکہ اس تیزی کے روزگار، ماحول اور روزمرہ زندگی پر اثرات پر نظر رکھی جا سکے۔
  • उज़्बेकिस्तान का ऐतिहासिक सिल्क रोड शहर समरकंद, जो यूनेस्को विश्व धरोहर स्थल है, पर्यटकों की संख्या में तेज़ बढ़ोतरी के साथ अपनी विरासत की रक्षा के लिए संघर्ष कर रहा है। शहर ने पिछले साल लगभग सत्तर लाख पर्यटकों का स्वागत किया और 2026 के पहले नौ महीनों में एक करोड़ से अधिक पर्यटक आए, जबकि साल के अंत तक लगभग एक करोड़ चालीस लाख की उम्मीद है। इसका पर्यटन विश्वविद्यालय विशेषज्ञ तैयार कर रहा है और मध्य एशिया की पहली पर्यटन वेधशाला बनाने की तैयारी कर रहा है ताकि इस तेज़ी का रोज़गार, पर्यावरण और दैनिक जीवन पर प्रभाव देखा जा सके।
