Event. Happy Birthday "Time Out Tashkent"

Since the magazine publishes multifield articles, it celebrates its holidays also differently each time: from officially pompous to youth parties. So today the magazine surprised everyone too. In the day of its Birthday the birthday-boy-magazine not only received gifts but also presented them itself. The most faithful advertisers and sponsors of the magazine received gratifying diplomas and certificates as well as presents from sponsors: domestic equipment from AKIRA, TAT chocolate, knitted vests from ALLINI, SUN WINE champagne, TIP-TOP drinks and juices, OMONXONA mineral water, ASIA beer, SLAVYANSKIE pryaniks (spice-cakes).

Throughout the year businessmen were lost in conjectures, who sponsors this project? This secret was revealed. For a year already the main sponsor of the magazine is RAGU GROUP company, which presented dishes of Indian cuisine from "RAGU" Restaurant on the soiree.

The programme was conferred by Vasiliy Tverdohlebov - a well-known actor of "Aladdin" theatre and Dilyara Belova - the editor of the magazine. The programme consisted of a greeting speech of the editor and the introduction of the entire editorial staff, awarding of diplomas, certificates, presents, as well as the concert performance of Vasiliy Tverdohlebov, "Artsah" jazz-band and a pianist and violinist duet from the "Poytaht" hotel.

"Afrosiyab" art-restaurant and the elite "Bahor" restaurant, "Anglesey Food" - a chain of supermarkets, Coscom mobile company, Sun Wine company, Aruji Travel tourist company, Grand Mir Hotel, Sarkor-Telecom Internet company and ORIAT FM radio station found themselves among the nominated companies. Along with diplomas they were presented with teakettles, toasters, telephones, irons from the AKIRA shop. All these companies were conferred an honourary title of "Pioneer" for two reasons. Firstly, their goods and services are of the highest quality, secondly - they provided financial and friendly support to our young magazine in the difficult time of its formation.

Once again the magazine set an example of a well-organized party. This was also the merit of the "Poytaht" hotel staff and all the advertisers which brought their presents for the party in the form of invitation "tickets" to services and dinners.

In 2005 the magazine plans to continue the theme of tourism in Uzbekistan and will become the participant of the largest in Europe tourist exhibition in Berlin, which will take place in March this year. LLC "Time Out" plans to issue thematic pocket guides on Tashkent cites once every 3 months. To sum up, it was noted that the readers' interest towards the magazine is growing. Now the magazine is being read not only in Tashkent but also in Fergana, Bukhara, Samarkand, Khiva and Bishkek. The editorial staff has set as an object to the journalists to extend the content and expand the themes of the material concerning tourism. In 2005 the magazine will work on strengthening its position in Uzbekistan and in Bishkek, for this the increase in circulation and amount of pages is planned.
