non-governmental organizations are considered to be members of UNWTO as observers. 
UNWTO has an 
extensive network represented by six regional organizations for various continents. These include the 
following organizations:
1) European Tourism Commission; 
2) Arab Tourism Association; 
3) The American Society of Tourist Agents; 
4) Conference of tourist agencies of Latin American countries; 
5) Association of British Tourist Agencies; 
6) Tourist Association of the Pacific Region. 
The states of Central Asia participate in the functioning of UNWTO within European tourist 
commission. The first issue is the need to concentrate UNWTO’s work on a few, high priority subjects of 
interest and relevance to most members, aiming at significant results in those areas, so as to strengthen its 
position as a global leader on tourism policy issues and to provide more meaningful, strategic services to 
members. Proposals are made to involve more strongly the members in the definition of priorities for the 
biennial programs of work, giving to the Regional Commissions a new, more substantive role in the 
identification of regional priorities. [3, P.14] Issuant, it is time to extend the reach of UNWTO’s sphere of 
cooperation by establishing Regional Commission for Central Asia, which was also discussed during a 
meeting between Uzbek President Sh.Mirziyoyev and ex-Secretary General of UNWTO TalebRifai. [4]
Surely, the Silk Road is a unique joint program with Europe and Asia, however, today Central Asia 
needs separate institutional network like Regional Commission for Central Asia which coordinates the 
development on tourism collaboration in certain region. The legal basis and structure of this institution 
will be organized by comparing other six commissions’ functioning and simultaneously, it is important to 
remember about the peculiarities of Central Asian region inclusively.
Here, it should be noted that, cooperation network between European Union and Uzbekistan was 
organized by another important legal document- Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA). This 
year, Uzbekistan and the European Union are celebrating the 22nd anniversary of the signing of the 
Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA), which was initialed on 29 April 1996, and entered into 
force on July 1, 1999. Seeing that, more than 20 years past after the adoption of the following agreement, 
so the process of cooperation is under the practical realization. Thereafter different reforms are organized 
in both parts. Like other developed and developing states Uzbekistan is interested in the development of 
tourism as the sectors of the economy effective and efficient means of bringing people closer together. 
Consequently, it is elaborated the project of the Conception of developing tourism in the Republic of 
Uzbekistan for 2017-2021 by the Committee of tourism in Uzbekistan. According to this document, one 
of the main preemptive direction and goal of governmental policy on developing tourism in the Republic 
of Uzbekistan should be the enlargement of international co-operation in the sphere of touristic activity.
For instance, only the article 61 of the PCA was dedicated to tourism, which includes some important 
aspects of tourism shortly.
In particular, it announces that, “the Parties shall increase and develop cooperation between them, 
which shall include: 
facilitating the tourist trade; 
increasing the flow of information; 
transferring know-how; 
studying the opportunities for joint operations; 
cooperation between official tourism bodies, including the preparation of promotionalmaterial; 
training for tourism development” [5]. 
Analyzing the legal norms, it was found that, nowadays only one article cannot cover all tendencies 
and demands of the parties. It is advisable to amend the PCA or to adopt a unique treaty in developing 
tourism between EU states and Uzbekistan.
To summarize, the mutual cooperation of Uzbekistan with UNWTO and EU in the sphere of 
tourism shows that, tourism industry has entered a period of sustainable growth in the volume of travel 
and excursions associated with an increase competition in this sector of the market. In such conditions it 
is difficult to overestimate the role of legal and institutional mechanisms for regulating the diverse 
relationships of subjects of the tourist market both inside the country and outside it.The state, civil society 
are involved in the formulation of a strategy development of tourism, improve the legislation, provide 
favorable conditions for collaborative activity of business structures, increase the responsibility of 
organizations and officials for compliance with the legal rights of consumers of tourism services, 
stimulate a system of training qualified personnel for the tourism industry.
