Therefore, the number of local and foreign tourists and guests expressing a desire to participate has increased. Guests from South Korea, Russia, Turkey, Pakistan, The Netherlands and neighboring countries such as Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan are invited to take part in the festival. This colorful festival is covered not only by our local media representatives but also by a number of foreign media representatives, including from Russia, China, Turkey, Iran, India and neighboring countries. It should be mentioned that Abat Fayzullaev, The Ambassador of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Austria, is helping us in terms of publishing our articles and attracting tourists to attend the upcoming festival.

The Flower Festival is important not only in meeting the aesthetic needs of the population, but also in covering the city with goodness. This holiday is distinguished with its ethno-ecological aspects, as the other spring ceremonies.
