Guys, and here’s why tours to Uzbekistan are getting more expensive — all backed by real data on inflation for November 2025! 📈💸
Overall growth +0.7% per month, 7.5% year-over-year — this hits tour operators hard: food, services, fuel are rising, and package prices inevitably adjust. But annual inflation is the lowest since 2016, so no panic! 😎
More convincing examples:
• Meat +24-27% year (lamb +26.8%, beef +24%) — imagine, shashlik or plov in the tour is now 25% more expensive than a year ago! 🥩😩 And per month +1000-1500 sum/kg — that’s +5-10$ per group for lunch.
• Veggies skyrocketed: cucumbers +96%, tomatoes +82% — fresh salads in hotels or markets add 5-15$ to the cost of meals in the package! 🥒🍅 But carrots -26%, so not all bad.
• Services +0.3-14% year: utilities (heating +7.3%, hot water +9%) — hotels raise rates by 10-15%, guides and transfers +5-10% due to energy costs (45% of businesses complain about energy).
• Fuel: gasoline +1.7% month (+9% year) — transfers from Tashkent to Samarkand now +10-20$ per group, and methane +30% year hits buses! ⛽🚗
Plus, with tourism growth (Brits +2.6 times in 2025), demand for tours is rising, pushing prices up by 10-15% (tourism market +10.6% CAGR).
Good news: rice -17% year, aviation -1.1% — budget options are holding. If planning tour to Uzbekistan, book now at www.caj.uz — in 2026 it could be +8-10% due to inflation! Who noticed the rise in trips? Comments! ✈️🇺🇿
