Tourism in uzbekistan

Materials and methods

For the analysis of the prerequisites and dynamics of the development of inbound tourism in Uzbekistan, information from official sources, statistical reporting data of the State Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan for the development of tourism for 2015- 2017 were used.
To identify preferences and expectations of foreign tourists from abroad, a survey was conducted. For questioning tourists, some fragments (elements) of the questionnaire developed by the State Statistics Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the State Tourism Development Committee of Uzbekistan were used based on the consultations of an expert from the UNWTO. This questionnaire was previously tested and used in Uzbekistan to carry out such studies. The survey was conducted among foreign tourists from foreign countries who arrived in the Kashkadarya region by railway transport (the route of the train “Afrosiyab” Tashkent-Karshi) for the period 15-25 August 2018.

In addition, I would like to mention the research of Kanevsky I., Kuznetsova O. and Chirkina V., addressed to the role issue state in the development of tourism. Insufficient knowledge of modern tourism, additional economic studies are needed that will reveal the place of tourism in the domestic service sector, identify the signs, current problems and the most significant factors of its development, as well as determine the most comprehensive structure of national tourism
