Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan
together form the macro destination of Central Asia. Some tour operators also consider
Azerbaijan, Mongolia, Xinjiang, Afghanistan and Tibet to be part of Central Asia. Close to
eight million international border crossings were registered in this area in 2004.
Tajikistan
Like Turkmenistan, Tajikistan was once part of Persian territory in old times. During
recent years, Tajikistan has attempted to develop its tourism industry through organizing
cultural and literary festivals. Considering its cultural and historical situation, the
country possesses astounding resources for attracting tourists.
Rugged and mountainous, Tajikistan sits at the heart of Central Asia, with China to the
east and the Indian subcontinent to the south.
