Abdumannonov Rizobek Iqboljon ogli – A Tourism Student Pursuing His Dream on a Government Scholarship

My name is Abdumannonov Rizobek Iqboljon ogli, and I am currently a third-year student majoring in Tourism at Kokand University. Since childhood, I have been inspired by Uzbekistan’s rich cultural heritage, historical sites, and immense tourism potential. That inspiration led me to pursue a career in tourism, where I aim to make a meaningful contribution.

I am proud to say that I am one of the students selected for a state-funded scholarship in the field of Tourism at Kokand University. This opportunity has given me not only access to quality education but also strong motivation to work hard and stay committed to my goals.

Throughout my studies, I’ve gained both theoretical knowledge and practical experience by participating in various tourism-related projects, local and international seminars, and tourism startups. These experiences are helping me grow into a well-rounded professional in the industry.

My goal is to promote Uzbekistan more widely on the international tourism map, introduce innovative services for travelers, and contribute to building a positive image of my country around the world.

Kokand University has provided me with solid academic support, countless opportunities, and the confidence to strive for excellence. Studying on a government scholarship continuously drives me to be active, disciplined, and passionate about my chosen field.
