development include:
- increased competition for local goods and services, natural resources and real 
estate.
- outflow of money in tourist import;

developed at the required level.
Tourism in Uzbekistan is a young industry and needs various support measures

foreign economic benefits. Therefore, it is difficult to compete with them in the 
production and consumption of tourist products
