Abstract
The tourism sector is increasingly recognized as a strategic component of national economic development, particularly in countries like Uzbekistan. Despite the rapid post-pandemic recovery and institutional reforms, the academic and statistical frameworks surrounding tourism services remain underdeveloped. This study aims to analyze the current trends, challenges, and strategic initiatives shaping the development of tourism services in Uzbekistan. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines statistical analysis from national and international tourism databases with policy review and qualitative assessments of institutional changes. Key findings indicate a substantial increase in domestic and international tourist flows, with the number of service providers and export revenues significantly rising between 2018 and 2023. However, critical challenges persist, including underutilized regional potential, outdated service approaches, and the absence of a coherent national tourism brand. The results emphasize the need for targeted infrastructural investments, professional training, and international marketing strategies. This analysis contributes to filling the gap in literature on the theoretical and practical dimensions of tourism services in transition economies. The implications suggest that a comprehensive, innovation-driven, and regionally inclusive tourism strategy is essential for enhancing service quality, economic impact, and global competitiveness.
