Note. According to the results of the implementation of state and regional programs of tourism development, changes can
be made to the forecast indicators.
Implementation of the above measures ensures the harmonization of the domestic regulatory framework with international
standards and norms, create favorable conditions for the development of tourism, efficient use of financial and economic
resources to increase the role of this sector in the economy, including 951 million tourism exports $ 2.2 billion dollars in 2025.
An analysis of the pricing policy of hotel rooms in the country shows a significant difference in the cost of living in different
regions. In particular, if the cost of accommodation in non-star hotels in Syrdarya, Andijan regions, the Republic of
Karakalpakstan is from 100-140 thousand ($ 10.5-15) to 300 thousand UZS ($ 32) per day, then in such tourist centers in
Tashkent, Bukhara, Samarkand and Fergana regions - from 250-300 thousand ($ 26-31) to 800 thousand UZS ($ 85).
The situation with the cost of accommodation in family guest houses looks a little different. In particular, in Bukhara region,
one of the main tourist centers of the country, the cost of living in family guest houses ranges from 40 thousand ($ 4.2) to 70
thousand UZS ($ 7.3), which is lower than in Surkhandarya region. 100 thousand UZS ($ 10). At the same time, these prices are
more than 160,000 UZS ($ 17) in Kashkadarya and Samarkand regions. This is possible due to the large number of residential
buildings in Bukhara region compared to other regions of the country (except Tashkent). For comparison, the number of
residential buildings in Bukhara region is more than 2 times higher than in Khorezm region, and 25% higher than in
Samarkand region [6].
As with the cost of hotel services, there is a significant difference between regions over the payback period for hotel industry
costs.

Encouraging and supporting the increase in the number of hotels is one of the most pressing challenges facing the industry in
the near future. It should be noted that the growth rate of tourism infrastructure facilities still lags behind the growth rate of
incoming foreign tourists. Thus, if in 2018 the growth in the number of tourists was almost 100 percent, then the growth rate in
the number of rooms did not exceed 9 percent.
The potential of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the development of tourism and its contribution to the economy is very large and
the results achieved are insufficient. According to the State Statistics Committee, the share of tourism in the country's GDP is
currently small – about 2 percent [7]. The number of enterprises engaged in tourism is about 400, most of which operate in
Tashkent (73.4%), Samarkand (13.1%), Bukhara (4.5%) and Khorezm (1%). In other words, 92% of enterprises specializing in
tourism services, as well as 93.1% of tourists visiting our country come mainly to these regions [8].
The average cost of one tourist is drastically different from that of another depending on the country of arrival. According to
data released by the State Tourism Committee in early 2019, the average cost of tourists from Central Asian countries was $ 60-
160, while those from other countries were $ 600-700 [4].
