Particularly the air transport was given prominence among other forms of transportation and has always received strong substantial investment. Rail lines and roadways have also come a long way and various smaller towns and villages are now getting connected with the big and cosmopolitan cities, thus making it easier for tourists to pay a visit to the lesser-known or hard to reach places in Uzbekistan.
