According to recent statistics, tourism industry is one of the world's largest industries with a global economic contribution (direct, indirect and induced) of over 7.6 trillion U.S. dollars in 2016. The direct economic impact of the industry, including accommodation, transportation, entertainment and attractions, was approximately 2.3 trillion U.S. dollars that year [5].

Generally, Uzbekistan has great potential to attract foreign visitors with the avaibility of historical cities like Khiva, Samarkand and Bukhara and its green environment, so different measures have been implemented recently for the further development of tourism industry. Particularly, The Presidential Decree “On additional organizational measures to create favorable conditions for the development of tourist potential of the Republic of Uzbekistan” on February 3, 2018, by Sh.Mirziyoev, on 6 February 2018 “On Measures to Ensure Rapid Development of Domestic Tourism” dated February 7, 2018, which deals with the implementation of the tasks assigned to them, and due to the large-scale of work carried out by the organizations, the intensification of the flow of foreign tourists flowing into the country [1].

Literature review

The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which go "beyond the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only", as people "traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure and not less than 24 hours, business and other purposes"[3]. Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours [2].

The terms tourism and travel are sometimes used interchangeably. In this context, travel has a similar definition to tourism, but implies a more purposeful journey. The terms tourism and tourist are sometimes used pejoratively, to imply a shallow interest in the cultures or locations visited. By contrast, traveler is often used as a sign of distinction. The sociology of tourism has studied the cultural values underpinning these distinctions and their implications for class relations [4].

Research methodology

Comparative analysis, logical analysis, structural analysis, statistical grouping, synthesis, induction and deduction methods were used in the research.
