INTRODUCTION
Tourism as a field of economic activity is of great
importance and has a number of characteristic
features. Tourism serves the interests of people and
society as a whole and is a source of income at the
micro and macro economic levels. Tourism is becoming
one of the main factors of regions and countries in the
creation of additional jobs, rapid development of road
and hotel construction, stimulation of production of all
types of motor vehicles, preservation of folk crafts and
national culture. According to forecasts of the World
Tourism Organization, the number of world tourists in
2020 will be 1.6 billion, and the income from world
tourism will increase to 2 trillion dollars in 2020. In the
decision PQ-135 of the President of the Republic of
Uzbekistan dated April 26, 2023 "on additional
measures to rapidly develop the tourism potential of
the republic and further increase the number of local
and foreign tourists", full and effective use of the
tourism potential of the Republic, primarily transport-
logistics and tourism information on quick resolution
of infrastructure problems, as well as creation of
additional conditions for business entities operating in
the field of tourism due to comprehensive use of
available resources and opportunities.
Uzbekistan is one of the countries with great potential
in the field of tourism.
Our country has all the necessary resources for the
development of a modern tourism industry. Most
importantly, it has favorable natural and climatic
conditions and a rich historical and cultural heritage.
Accordingly, in the current conditions of globalization
and economy integration, consistent reforms are being
implemented in our country for the development of
tourism. In this regard, it is also important that in the
Strategy of Actions on the five priority directions of the
development of the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2017-
2021, priority tasks related to rapid development of the
tourism industry, increasing its role and share in the
economy, diversification and improvement of the
quality of tourist services, and expansion of tourism
infrastructure are defined. Moreover, in the process of
developing this industry, it is becoming an objective
necessity to rationally form the activities of clusters,
which are a quality factor of modern innovation and
economic growth.
Tourism has a great impact on transport and
communication, construction, agriculture, production
of consumer goods and other sectors of the economy
and serves as a catalyst of socio-economic

development. In turn, the development of tourism is
influenced by various factors: demographic, natural-
geographic, socio-economic, historical, religious and
political-legal factors.
The tourism potential of the Republic of Uzbekistan is
developing rapidly.
In recent years, complex measures for the
development of tourism as one of the strategic sectors
of the national economy of the country have been
consistently implemented, which are aimed at its rapid
development, creation of new jobs, increase of
income, improvement of the standard and quality of
life of the population, as well as increase of investment
attractiveness.
It should be noted that important trends of digital
transformation are emerging in the field of tourism,
and the integration of these technologies into tourism
products and services is considered a key element of
the innovation process leading to digital tourism.[5]
In addition, issues of comprehensive management of
interrelated flows of resources providing tourism
services in the region, classification, systematization
and modeling of logistics operations in tourism, taking
into account modern trends of personalization of
services, have not been sufficiently developed.
The need to study these and other problems of tourism
development, the choice of the topic of great
importance of the raised theoretical and practical
issues, determined.
Economic and mathematical modeling methods,
systematic, technical, economic and financial analyses,
operations research and decision-making methods,
mathematical statistics, expert evaluations and
comparative analyzes were used to solve these
problems of the article and justify the proposed
regulations.
Logistics plays an important role in the tourism
industry, affecting various aspects from travel and
transportation to accommodation and food.
There are several ways in which logistics can affect
tourism:
Transportation and Movement: Logistics
determines the availability and convenience of
transportation options for travelers. This includes
aviation, rail and road transport, sea and river transport.
Effective logistics minimizes travel time and costs and
allows you to create optimal routes.
Accommodation: Logistics also affects the
availability and quality of tourist accommodation,
including
hotels,
resorts,
hostels
and
rental
accommodation. Effective logistics in this area means
managing reservations, providing guest services, and
ensuring that the necessary resources are available.
Food and Restaurants: Food distribution and
restaurant service also depend on logistics. From food
delivery to hotel accommodations and guest services,
logistics play a critical role in ensuring the tourism
industry has adequate resources for food and
entertainment.
Excursions and Activities: Logistics are also
important in organizing excursions, activities and
entertainment for tourists. This includes managing
transport, tickets, group and event logistics.

tourist flows is important to prevent congestion and
ensure safety. Logistics helps to plan and coordinate the
movements of tourists to avoid problems related to
overloading, long queues and other negative
consequences.
As such, logistics plays an important role in ensuring a
comfortable and convenient travel experience,
affecting everything from travel and accommodation
to food and entertainment.
Uzbekistan is one of the countries with great potential
in the field of tourism. Our country has all the necessary
resources for the development of the modern tourism
industry, a favorable climate, and a rich historical and
cultural heritage. In Uzbekistan, tourism is one of the
strategic branches of diversifying the national
economy, accelerating the development of regions,
creating new jobs, increasing the income and living
standards of the population, increasing the investment
attractiveness of our country, and complex measures
are being implemented for its development.
The logistics industry is one of the growing industries,
and cost and time calculations have become
increasingly
important in
recent
years. The
participation of logistics activities in almost all sectors
requires the study of logistics elements and their
detailed study.
This situation increases the importance of logistics
concept in reducing costs and saving time for
enterprises. On the other hand, the tourism industry
has become one of the most important sectors with
the expansion of transport and communication
opportunities. The annual growth of tourism and the
number of vacationers determine the importance of
tourism from the point of view of the national
economy. Although, at first glance, the field of tourism
and logistics is not very important. But, very closely
connected, the tourism industry is one of the sectors
that constantly uses logistics transport.

has become one of the most important sectors with
the expansion of transport and communication
opportunities. The annual growth of tourism and the

tourism from the point of view of the national
economy. Although, at first glance, the field of tourism

constantly uses logistics transport.
Today, logistics has become one of the main business
processes in developed countries. According to
estimates, the logistics system accounts for 20
–
25 % of
GDP, and a 1 % loss in this system results in a 10%
reduction in production. With the development of
foreign economic activity in Uzbekistan, the role and
importance of international logistics centers in
international economic relations is increasing. Before
independence, logistics in our country was focused
only on the possibilities of the domestic market, but in
the post-independence period, it was further
expanded and improved. In a short period of time,
clear ways of developing the logistics infrastructure
were formed.
The relationship between tourism and logistics is
mainly focused on the support activities expressed in
the
transportation
of
passengers,
food,
accommodation and logistics of tourist programs,
which are fundamental for their inclusion in the
planning and organization of tourism activities or
events. Logistics elements can be organized in a single
system or adapted to each event, which allows to
order products and objects and deliver them to
consumers, while trying to satisfy the environment,
communication and its needs. At this point, if we pay
attention to the reforms being carried out for the
purpose of developing tourism in Uzbekistan, most of
them are related to logistics.[1]
In Uzbekistan, where only one airline operated for 30
years, ten more airlines were opened in just three
years. Over the past few years, a record 64 airlines have
crashed around the world, mostly due to the
coronavirus pandemic. During such economic losses,
investors lose their money, Uzbekistan is leading the
way in establishing airlines. Uzbekistan, the most
populous country in Central Asia, has increased the
number of airlines from one to eleven in three years.
This tenfold increase should be a world record for the
last three years. of Britain

The survey of public opinion showed that the level of
savings of the population has not remained stable for
several years. But both urban and rural residents prefer
to keep their money at home: 66.0% and 69.7%,
respectively. At the same time, urban residents keep
their money in banks twice as much as rural residents.
According to the results of the social opinion survey,
the goals of the population in saving money are
changing. Weddings and dowries for children are very
important for the population: more than half of the
surveyed citizens save money for this purpose. Saving
money of the population "for studying at higher
educational institutions" is especially relevant and
economically based (24.4% in 2023).

The infographic shows the active airlines in Uzbekistan,
the number of aircraft in them, their location and year
of operation. Three of them are state, six are private,
and one is an airline company with foreign capital.
Located in the heart of the Eurasian region, where
many countries are suffering from depopulation,
Uzbekistan, as a champion of demographic growth,
has almost doubled its population from 20 million in
1990 to 37 million in 2024. But for thirty years, only one
national airline and a limited number of foreign airlines
operated in the country.

Today, a new airline welcomes more competition and
choice. In fact, Uzbekistan has a strong potential to
become an aviation hub in the region. Starting from the
starting line of having one airline for a country with a
population of 37 million, it is a logical step for
Uzbekistan to join the world trend by increasing the
number of airlines. At least that is the case for today
and the next few years.
In 2017, 2.7 million tourists came to Uzbekistan, and in
2022, their number will increase by 1.9 times to 5.2
million. This is a good positive indicator for Uzbekistan,
which has come out of the coronavirus pandemic, and
in 2021, 1,880,000 people visited the beaches. In
addition, the indicators of domestic tourism are
increasing every year. In 2022, the number of domestic
travelers increased by 107.0% compared to 2017 (10.5
million people) and reached 11.3 million people. This
year, the number of foreign tourists is expected to
reach 7 million people.[2]

In 2021, the number of deployment vehicles was 767,
and in 2022, their number increased to 5,000. In 2018,
106 (841 places) family guesthouses were launched,
and today their number is 3.1 thousand and the number
of places has increased to 27.8 thousand. At the same
time, the number of business entities in the field
increased. The number of subjects and objects
providing services to tourists is 4091 (in 2021 - 749),

agents - 119 (in 2021 - non-existent) and tour guides

condition of 7,600 sanitary-hygiene stations along the
roads and in populated areas has been improved
(3,900 new, 3,700 repaired). 96% of existing car gas
stations in the republic have sanitation stations (Fig. 2).
According to the statistics agency, in January-
September 2024, 5.7 million foreign citizens came to
Uzbekistan for tourist purposes.
This indicator has increased by 825.8 thousand people
or 16.8% compared to the corresponding period of last

CONCLUSIONS
Road infrastructure is one of the most important
factors in tourism. As long as the condition of tourist
cities, objects, inter-directional roads does not
improve, it will arouse antipathy towards the tourism
of Uzbekistan among tourists.
Intercity transport is also very inconvenient for local
tourists. For example, direct transportation from
Surkhandarya to Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva has not
been established. There are similar inconveniences
with other regions (Fig. 3).
Figure 3.
There are more than a thousand means of placement.
In Uzbekistan, a single platform has not been created
for their location, prices, and types of services, or even
on the existing platforms, not all information has been
posted. This creates an additional challenge for
domestic and foreign tourists looking for guest houses,

region have not been formed in the directions of
extreme, medical, gastronomic, agro, eco, historical
tourism. We think that those who are at the top of the
system understand well what tasks are in the future for
the further development of the industry, which was
recently reorganized and passed from Aziz
Abduhakimov to Ozodbek Nazarbekov.
Figure 4.
Thus, digital tourism uses the availability and diversity
of travel information based on technology-based
searches, user reviews, photos, and videos of a
particular destination to help decide whether to
choose that destination, plan, and make it happen.
