The Discovery Central Asia Travel Forum brings together expert industry speakers, a selection of leading business travel suppliers and a maximum of 200 delegates. Limiting the number of attendees not only promotes a relaxed business environment, but also ensures delegates have the chance to meet and mix with their own peers, as well as a raft of industry experts with whom they can personally discuss their travel needs and strike up lasting business relationships.

The Travel Forum

A series of problem-solving-themes and workshops will take place across two days, alongside our DCATF participants.

The Travel Forum will be in 4 sessions:

• CA inbound tourism;
• CA outbound tourism;
• Hospitality in CA;
• Education in CA.

The Travel Forum will raise the issues of:

• Development of Crafts and Applied Arts in Central Asia
• Culinary tourism, and the development of a national cuisine in the region.

The forum will also consist of such cultural activities as:

• A fashion Festival for local artists and brands
• An exhibition of Central Asian artisans
• A charity contest of children's art on the theme "What A Varied World", with the aim of supporting young artists in their efforts.

The Travel Forum will host a closing reception and celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Discovery Central Asia magazine.

Full Forum programme will be published in March 2012.
