Abstract

Tourism services are integral to economic development, contributing to GDP, employment, and infrastructure. This article explores the socio-economic impact of tourism services, with a focus on Uzbekistan's role in a globalized, competitive economy. Despite the sector's growth, there is limited research on optimizing tourism services to maximize their economic benefits. Using qualitative methods such as literature review, case studies, and expert interviews, the study examines the role of tourism services in Uzbekistan. The findings show that tourism offers significant opportunities for economic diversification, foreign exchange earnings, and cultural promotion. However, challenges exist in adopting digital technologies, attracting investment, and ensuring sustainability. The results highlight that tourism services stimulate economic growth, create jobs, improve living standards, and foster small businesses. The sector also enhances national competitiveness on a global scale. The study's implications emphasize the need for targeted policies, improved infrastructure, and investment to support sustainable tourism development. Future research should focus on the effects of digitalization and innovation in the tourism services industry.
