Abstract
This study examines the development of domestic tourism in the Republic of Uzbekistan and its impact on the country’s socio-economic indicators. While domestic tourism has significant potential to enhance the tourism services sector and drive economic growth, its role remains underexplored. Addressing this gap, the research aims to evaluate the contributions of domestic tourism to economic diversification and sectoral development. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study analyzes qualitative and quantitative data to assess current trends, challenges, and opportunities. Findings reveal that domestic tourism significantly boosts local industries and contributes to sustainable economic growth. Recommendations are proposed to strengthen policy support and infrastructure, emphasizing the strategic importance of domestic tourism for Uzbekistan's overall development.
