It is here, in the heart of the Silk Road, that a unique publication was born – Travel + Leisure Central Asia, designed to unite the five countries of the region into a single world-class travel guide.
Travel + Leisure brings together travel, culture, and the art of living. It represents a philosophy of conscious tourism – the ability to see beauty in details, to find inspiration in people, culture, and natural landscapes.
The Central Asian edition continues this mission by creating a modern media project that helps travelers discover the undiscovered and see the familiar in a new light.
Where the Journey Begins
Just as Marco Polo once traced his path from Europe through Central Asia to China, Travel + Leisure returns to these routes – to once again tell the world about the place where it all began.
“Our region possesses a special charm, a mystery and an elusive magnetism that cannot be described in words – it can only be felt when you’re here,” says Editor-in-Chief Barno Ikramova.
The magazine reveals not only the landscapes and landmarks of the region but also its soul – its music, crafts, flavors, and traditions; the vivid details of daily life that create a true sense of presence. Here, travel becomes an art form – a way to feel the breath of the land, hear its rhythm, and discover Central Asia as it has never been seen before.
A Unified Travel Guide to Central Asia
Travel + Leisure Central Asia brings together Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan into one cohesive travel space. It is not just a magazine but a next-generation guide that helps travelers navigate a world of routes, cultural events, hotels, restaurants, and natural destinations across the region.
Each issue offers carefully curated information about the best destinations, trusted routes, and inspiring discoveries. Every edition becomes a map to travel by – from the modern skyline of Astana to the ancient streets of Bukhara, from the mountain valleys of Kyrgyzstan to the sandy expanses of the Karakum Desert.
Where Inspiration Is Born
The Travel + Leisure Central Asia team strives to embrace all facets of tourism – from design and gastronomy to architecture, technology, and art.
We tell stories of artisans who create with soul, of chefs who turn local ingredients into culinary revelations, of artists and architects who blend heritage with modernity.
Each story becomes an invitation – to feel the rhythm of the region, uncover its true essence, and perhaps find something meaningful within yourself.
A New Platform for Business and Regional Promotion
Travel + Leisure Central Asia is not only a source of inspiration for travelers but also a powerful platform for tourism and advertising professionals.
Both the print edition and its digital version reach a wide international audience – those who choose destinations, invest in tourism, and shape the image of the region.
At the state level, the magazine fulfills an important mission – to promote the tourism potential of the Central Asian countries, strengthen their reputation as attractive and safe destinations, and build a unified brand for the region.
