CONCLUSION 
Currently, the importance of tourist resources in the socio-economic life of 
Uzbekistan is growing significantly. The socio-economic condition of our cultural 
tourism resources in our country, their service areas for tourists follow certain rules, 
observations are made and corrections are made to them. Because our country is 
located on the Great Silk Road, the number of tourists visiting our historical 
monuments is increasing every year. In this regard, if we look at the statistics of the 
years, we will see how much they have increased. In particular, the data on the 
growth of foreign tourist arrivals in 2018 are as follows: 
From this data, we can see a significant increase in 2018 compared to 2016. 
However, with the increase in the flow of tourists, several problems become evident, 
as an example6;
• the lack of hotels and other means of accommodation, especially during the tourism 
season:
• 310 out of 7,476 tangible cultural heritage objects are in an accident or abandoned 
condition:
• cultural heritage objects and museums are not equipped with modern technologies; 
Despite the fact that we have a great opportunity to increase the flow of tourists in 
Uzbekistan, it is necessary to study the science of "Tourism economy and 
management" in order to study and analyze the ways to eliminate the problems and 
shortcomings mentioned above. Our republic has very rich opportunities for the 
development of international cooperation in the field of tourism. These include the 
fact that a branch of the "Great Silk Road" passes through our republic, our world-
famous historical and national cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, Shakhrisabz, 
Kokon, Tashkent and other cities, our regions rich in natural and healing resources, 
Chimyon, It includes Shakhimardan, Zomin, Boysun, Sherabad and other cities. Up 
to now, it can be considered that the foundation for the development of modern 
tourism in Uzbekistan has been laid. The proof of this is the adoption of the Law 
"On Tourism" of the Republic of Uzbekistan on August 20, 1999. The purpose of 
the law is to legally regulate relations in the field of modern tourism, tax, develop

the market of tourist services, as well as protect the rights and legal interests of 
tourists. Another evidence is the active participation of the Republic of Uzbekistan 
in the restoration of the "Great Silk Road" and the adoption by the President of the 
decree on the development of international tourism in the republic. According to this 
decree, tourist enterprises got a number of tax benefits. This decree stimulated the 
development of tourist destinations in historical and modern cities located on the 
"Great Silk Road". For thousands of years, the "Great Silk Road" has been 
considered an important and effective way to unite the peoples of Asia and Europe. 
The exchange of goods, knowledge, technologies, and cultures was carried out along 
the same road, which helped the development of cities and countries. Experts of the 
World Tourism Organization divided the participating countries into 3 parts 
depending on their participation in the "Great Silk Road". The first part included the 
countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus, which began to form a unique modern 
model of tourism. In this direction, the main issue of the World Tourism 
Organization is to help in creating a sustainable development program, attracting 
investment in the tourism sector, developing legislation and training personnel. The 
second part includes the countries that have the "Great Silk Road" objects and have 
a clear experience with the tourist product. These are China, Pakistan, India, Iran, 
Greece and Turkey. According to BTT experts, the international organization can 
promote the sale of the tourist product "Great Silk Road" here. The third part covers 
the last points of ancient communication. On the one hand, these include Japan, 
Korea, ASEAN countries. Here, the task of the World Tourism Organization is to 
promote the "Great Silk Road", because these countries not only provide a large 
tourist flow, but are also the leading markets for tourism along this road5. "Great 
Silk Road" must be a fundamental basis for raising the status of modern tourism 
products. Active cooperation of all countries is needed to sell it. It cannot be done 
here without the cooperation of the private sector and the public sector, international 
and rational organizations, individual tour operators and hotel complexes. The next 
meeting of the World Tourism Organization on the "Great Silk Road" project was 
held in China in 1996, where issues related to product marketing were discussed.
