Nā alanui medieval haiki a hiki i nā hale aliʻi polū a me nā hale pule. ʻO nā hale kīʻaha me nā kia lāʻau i kālai ʻia a me nā puka.
ʻO ia ʻano ʻano mai ka wā i hala e ʻikea nei ma Uzbekistan, inā ma nā kūlanakauhale kahiko o Bukhara, Samarkand, a me Khiva, a i ʻole nā wahi mamao aku ma ke Alanui Silk.
Ke nānā nei e hoʻohana i kāna hoʻoilina a me nā ʻano kū hoʻokahi, ke hoʻolaha nei ʻo Uzbekistan iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he wahi huakaʻi huakaʻi no nā mea e ʻimi nei e ʻike i ka mōʻaukala Central Asia, ka moʻomeheu, a me ka meaʻai.
Akā ʻoiai e hoʻāʻo ana ʻo Uzbekistan e hoʻomohala i kāna ʻoihana hoʻokipa, ua hoʻokele ʻia kāna aupuni autiteriter - i hoʻohewa ʻia ma waena o ka honua no ka hana ʻino ʻana i nā pono kīvila kanaka - mālama kekahi o nā aupuni visa maʻa loa ma Central Asia. He ʻano bureaucratic o ke ala e hoʻohuli pinepine i ka ʻano o ka huakaʻi a ka ʻāina e nānā nei e ʻumeʻume.
Ua hōʻike ʻia ke ʻano contradictory e nā hanana i hana ʻia ma mua o kēia pule.
ʻOiai ʻo Uzbektourism, ke kino a ka mokuʻāina e kiaʻi ana i ka ʻoihana huakaʻi ʻo Uzbekistan, ua hoʻokipa he mau lunamakaʻāinana haole i ka wā o ka makahiki ʻo “Tour along the Silk Road”, ua kāhea aku ʻo World Tourism Organisation iā Tashkent e hoʻomāmā i kāna mau papala visa no nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi
Ua hoʻopukapuka nui ʻo Uzbekistan i kāna ʻoihana hoʻokipa i nā makahiki i hala, e kūkulu ana i nā hōkele kiʻekiʻe me nā ʻoihana i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ma ke kapikala ʻo Tashkent a me nā kūlanakauhale mōʻaukala e lilo i wahi hoʻokipa nui ma ka ʻāina.
Ua hōʻano hou ka ʻāina i kāna mau kahua mokulele a me nā pono halihali mokulele, e kūʻai ana i nā mokulele Boeing a me Airbus hou e lawe i nā ohua ma nā mokulele honua.
Wahi a ka nūhou Uzbek, ua kipa wale ʻia ke kūlanakauhale nui o Khiva ma mua o 27,000 mau mākaʻikaʻi haole i kēia makahiki, me nā huakaʻi mai Palani, Kelemania, a me Sepania.
ʻO Tanya Evans, ka luna o kahi keʻena mākaʻikaʻi ma Ladana ʻo The Silk Road And Beyond, i ʻōlelo ʻia ua hoʻonohonoho ʻoihana i nā huakaʻi i Uzbekistan no nā haneli he nui o nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi Pelekane i makemake e mākaʻikaʻi i nā wahi o ka mōʻaukala a me ka waiwai o ka hoʻolālā.
Akā kanikau ʻo Evans, ʻaʻole like me nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi ʻē aʻe i makemake nui ʻia, ʻo ka huakaʻi ʻana i Uzbekistan e pili ana i kahi kaʻina hana visa a paʻakikī hoʻi.
"ʻO ka maʻamau no ka poʻe Pelekania a me nā kamaʻāina ʻē aʻe o EU, pono ʻoe e kiʻi i kahi ʻae mai ka Kuhina o ko nā ʻāina ʻē ma Tashkent," wahi a Evans. "Ke ʻae lākou i kāu visa, a laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i kahi consulate kokoke loa a haki ʻia ia i kāu passport. ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i ka ʻelele a loaʻa ka visa. ”
ʻO Pavel Pozniak, he luna o ka hui huakaʻi ʻo Adventur ma Prague, i haʻi aku iā RFE / RL's Uzbek Service ke manaʻo nei ka ʻoihana Czech e hoʻoliʻiliʻi i nā pūʻulu huakaʻi i nā ʻāina ʻelima Central Asia e moe ana ma ke alanui Silk kahiko.
ʻO kahi hoʻomanaʻo hoʻomanaʻo e hoʻomanaʻo ana i ka poʻe i hoʻopaʻi ʻia e Stalin ma TashkentAkā ʻōlelo ʻo Pozniak ʻo ka pilikia visa, i hui pū ʻia me ke kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe o nā tiketi ea i Uzbekistan a me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe o Central Asia, e hoʻonāwaliwali i nā mākaʻikaʻi Czech he nui.
"Ma waho aʻe, ʻaʻole lawa kā mākou ʻike e pili ana i nā hana mākaʻikaʻi a nā ʻāina ʻo Central Asia," wahi a Pozniak. "A ʻaʻole maopopo iā mākou inā hiki iā mākou ke ʻike i nā ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi hilinaʻi i laila e hana pū ai ma ke ʻano he hoa."
ʻO Zarif, kahi ʻona o kahi ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi ma Tashkent nāna i hōʻole e hāʻawi i kona inoa hope loa, i ʻōlelo ʻia e kāna ʻoihana pilikino, a me kāna hui hui pū ʻia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, e hoʻonohonoho i nā huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi i Uzbekistan no nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ʻAmelika.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Zarif e kū nei ke aupuni visa ʻo Uzbekistan ʻo ia ka mea hoʻohoka nui i ʻike ʻia e kāna mau mea kūʻai aku. ʻO kahi visa mākaʻikaʻi hoʻokahi i Uzbekistan no nā kamaʻāina US he $ 131, a ʻo nā mea noi e kali ma kahi o 10 mau lā hana a hiki i ka wā e hoʻopuka ʻia ai ka visa.
ʻO ka poʻe makemake e wikiwiki i ke kaʻina hana e ʻelima mau lā e koi ʻia e uku i $ 197. ʻAʻole uku ʻia ka uku visa a ʻaʻohe mea hōʻoia e loaʻa nā visa i nā mea noi.
"He pilikia nui ka visa, a no kekahi mau ʻāina ua paʻakikī loa ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi visa Uzbek," wahi a Zarif. “Pono lākou e kali lōʻihi. ʻO kahi laʻana, paʻakikī loa kā mākou mea kūʻai mai US mai ka lawe ʻana i nā wisa Uzbek. ”
ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona alanui ma ke kaona ʻo Uzbek ʻo Bukhara ma ke ala kalepa ʻo Silk Road kahiko ʻO ke aupuni visa koʻikoʻi o Uzbekistan a me nā kuʻuna a me ka hoʻomalu palena he kumu hopohopo no ka nui o nā huakaʻi mai nā ʻāina kokoke mai o Uzbekistan.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jahongir Sabohi, he kanaka kālepa ʻo Dushanbe, i kēlā me kēia makahiki lawe ʻo ia i kāna wahine a me kāna mau keiki e noho i ko lākou wā hoʻomaha kauwela ma Samarkand, kahi hānau o kona mau mākua.
"I kēlā me kēia makahiki, ʻo ka hewa o nā pou palena a me nā ʻano hana ʻino a nā luna dute e hoʻohuli i kā mākou huakaʻi i moeʻuhane," wahi āna. "Inā ua loaʻa iā ʻoe ka visa Uzbek, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo hiki iā ʻoe ke komo i Uzbekistan. Hoʻopili wale nā kiaʻi palena ʻo Uzbek i ka pou palena - inā makemake lākou - me ka ʻole o ka hoʻolaha, me ka ʻole o ka wehewehe ʻana. A ʻaʻole hōʻike ka ʻAmelika ʻo Uzbek iā ʻoe no ia mea. ʻAʻohe hui like ma waena o lākou.
"ʻAʻohe lele ma waena o Dushanbe a me Samarkand a hele mākou ma ke kaʻa, a i kekahi manawa noho mākou i kekahi mau lā i ke kaʻa e kali ana no ka wehe hou ʻia o ka palena," wahi a Sabohi.
Ua manaʻo ʻo Zarif, ka mea hoʻokele huakaʻi ʻo Uzbek, ua hoʻokau aku kona ʻāina i ka nui o nā keʻena keʻokeʻo a pilikia hoʻi ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi.
"He aha ka mea e hiki ai iā mākou ke hana?" Wahi a Zarif. "He kānāwai kēia ma aneʻi, a ʻaʻohe ala a puni ia."
