. Under the leadership 
of our president, the wide-scale reforms implemented in the development of the 
tourism sector in our country during the years of independence are giving highly 
positive results. Since 2016, the flow of foreign tourists in Uzbekistan has increased 
significantly. 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 example; 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, strengthening the 
fundamental knowledge of studying and analyzing the ways to eliminate the above-
mentioned problems and shortcomings creates the need to study the science of 
"Tourism economy and management"

2.2. Tourist resources of Uzbekistan.
The formation and development of tourism depends on the potential of tourist 
resources. The more diverse tourist resources the country has, the easier it is to 
develop tourism. It should be noted that our country has a huge tourist resource for 
the development of the tourism industry. Such an opportunity exists in a few 
countries of the world. Beautiful nature, diverse climate, glorious history, cultural 
monuments, unique traditions of the regions are all embodied in our country. 
Tourism is a rapidly developing service industry sector of our country's economy, 
and the services provided in it are consumed by tourists who go to the regions where 
the resources are available

. Tourism, as a labor-intensive industry, can create many 
jobs not only in tourism, but also in the industry, agriculture, and transport and

infrastructure sectors that serve them, which produce various products and goods 
consumed by travelers, as well as provides an opportunity to increase the foreign 
currency income of the country and to significantly expand the economic activity on 
these bases. About 7,300 historical cultural objects have been identified on the 
territory of Uzbekistan, there are several nature reserves and national parks, and 
there are more than 300 healing underground mineral water sources. Among the 
tourist resources available in our country, the place of cultural centers is of special 
importance. Currently, there are about 50 theaters, more than 110 museums, 2 zoos, 
1 botanical garden, 1 circus, about 3,000 libraries, about 170 cultural and 
recreational parks, and more than 50 concert halls operating in our country. There 
are more than 160 sanatorium-resort organizations in our country today. Most of 
them are located in Fergana, Tashkent and Namangan regions. Also, more than 250 
recreation centers are operating, almost half of them, more than one hundred, are 
located in Tashkent region. Analyzing the above statistical data of 2018, August 
(584,434) corresponds to the month of January (266,194) and the lowest number of 
tourists. In general, the only touristic place of our country consists of a unique desert 
(sakharo), valleys and oases of the irrigated plain zone, and mountain landscapes, 
which are inextricably linked and at the same time very different from each other. 
They serve as a strong natural basis for the establishment of tourism centers and 
centers of various directions. It should be noted that there are very favorable 
conditions and opportunities in our country for ecological tourism, which is rapidly 
developing as an innovative direction in international tourism. We would like to 
evaluate the activities of private companies operating in the market of tourism 
services of our country through the following classification: - vehicle sector; 
- tourist accommodation and food supply sector; 
- entertainment activities sector; 
- tourist operators and tourist agents. 
According to 2018 data, 13% of the total number of tourists from foreign countries 
came from Turkey, 10% from China, 8% from South Korea, 6% from India and 
Germany, 5% from Japan, and 4% from Italy. The remaining 48% are tourists from
