implemented in Uzbekistan during the early years of independence to preserve architectural and

cultural heritage and involve it in the development of tourism. The study examines factors such as

the establishment of the national company “O‘zbekturizm,” state and public initiatives for the

restoration of historical monuments, and the inclusion of the historical center of Bukhara in the

UNESCO World Heritage List, which are assessed as important stages in forming the institutional

and legal foundations of tourism development in the country
