International Business Travel and Opportunities: Have You Ever Been to Central Asia?

Central AsiaI actually love traveling. However, my business and work chain my leg to the office – Living the 4-Hour Workweek’s Tim Ferriss way is a vision and dream yet to achieve :)

When the time comes, there are places I am eager to visit, either for business and leisure.

If you are a budding entrepreneur look to invest overseas, I suggest you to consider the Central Asia region.

Investing in the Silk Road and ex-Soviet Union members

Central Asia travel, either for business or leisure, is interesting and fascinating.

Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and Uzbekistan travel destinations and business prospects are, in my opinion, underrated.

Known for oil and gas wealth, the Central Asia region is full of potential, mainly dominated by investors from Russia – the world’s largest natural gas producer. It is about time for small(er) investors to partner with local businesses.

Overall, the Central Asia is growing constantly, since the spin-offs from the Soviet Union.

I suggest you to partner with local representatives that can aid you in business deals with local businesses, as well as helping you to understand the people’s customaries, as well as business customs and other business-related issues.

Traveling in Central Asia

Of course, in-between your business dealings and negotiations, there are plenty of places of interest to visit and local delicacies to savour.

  • My friend went to Uzbekistan, got a taxi in the airport for $50. The taxi took him to his hotel and the driver said that my friend owes him $100. He just lied fragrantly. Beware.

    Hi,

    Ouch – but that happens a lot…

    ‘Guess where I experienced just that – Florence, Italy!

    IMO, non-local-language-speaking tourists will probably experience it anywhere in the world…

    Thanks for the warning :)

    The communication sector is a big profit arena for the newly investors like Zain, MTN, Alcatel,Ericsson and etc the banking is leading the track and the oil sector is a constant profiting well.
