If anyone's interested in making it big time in Uzbekistan, my observation is that you should consider looking out for the tourism and hospitality industry here.
It's been massive this year and is expected to smash all time highs for some more years to come. Besides, the foreigners are usually wealthy, especially if it's Europeans, Americans, or East Asians. Europeans, as a matter of fact, are modtly the seniors who saved their entire life to just enjoy it all on traveling the world. They are loke walking money bags, to put it more bluntly.
The developments within the industry are unprecedented. Hotels are being built, tourist sites are being made more and more accessible to the incoming sight-seers, and the whole country is kind of trying to become more comfortable for the foreign folk.
It might feel like there is enough competition out there already, but there are many cracks to be mended.
The field needs people with perspective, relevant competence, and vision. A guy with a Hospitality degree from some fucking Samarkand State University who barely got a 7 on his ielts exam after 2 years of arduous preparation, who's never been outside the country, and who just doesn't have the soul and taste to be able to appreicate the sheer aesthetic of his own motherland will not cut it in this job!
This takes someone with brains but also someone with taste, self-respect, and dignity, because at the end of the day you are building narratives about your own country, and you better make it good.
To be continued.
