In recent years, special attention has been paid to the further improvement of the tourism sector and the withdrawal of tourist and hospitality services to international levels. In support of this, a resolution of the President of our country No. 135 dated April 26, 2023, "On additional measures for the accelerated development of the tourist potential of the republic, as well as a further increase in the number of local and foreign tourists," was adopted.

In order to ensure the implementation of this decision, the international youth festival "IV Millenialls Tourism Festival" was held at MDIST from August 23 to 26.
