Teplo Autumn Fest Opens in Tashkent, Bridging Tourism and Creative Entrepreneurship

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — The Teplo Autumn Fest (on 19–21 September) has opened in the capital, serving as a vibrant platform for promoting local brands, creative projects, and cultural initiatives.

Organized with the support of the Tourism Committee, the festival reflects Uzbekistan’s strategic approach to boosting its tourism appeal by nurturing the creative economy and entrepreneurship.

The festival marketplace features over 100 local designers and artisans, showcasing original collections, crafts, and unique handmade products. For entrepreneurs, participation provides a chance to reach a wide audience, strengthen brand identity, and expand their customer base.

In addition, the partner and workshop zones give companies space to present services, build connections, and test new consumer engagement formats. The festival thus acts as a business incubator for small and medium-sized enterprises in the creative industries.

The program enriches Tashkent’s tourist offering with unique experiences: a gastronomic area with world cuisines, concerts, educational sessions, and walks in the scenic Japanese Garden. For foreign visitors, the event showcases Tashkent as a dynamic hub where tradition blends seamlessly with innovation.

Teplo Autumn Fest highlights how creative initiatives can simultaneously drive entrepreneurship and enhance tourism potential. According to organizers, such event platforms foster a supportive ecosystem for local businesses while raising Uzbekistan’s profile as a center for cultural and event tourism.

“The festival is more than a celebration for residents. It is an important step in integrating creative industries into the country’s economy and tourism sector. These initiatives help small brands gain visibility and create new attractions for tourists,” organizers emphasized.

Teplo Autumn Fest is evolving into a sustainable cultural ecosystem, reinforcing Uzbekistan’s image as an attractive destination for travel and investment in creative and tourism-related projects.
