Abstract
This article examines the issue of improving the mechanisms for the formation and development of tourism clusters based on the forecast indicators of tourism development in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The purpose of the study is to identify the institutional, infrastructural, digital, and investment mechanisms of cluster-based development on the basis of the existing regulatory framework in the tourism sector, official statistical indicators, and modern scientific approaches. The article analyzes the evolution of the tourism management system in Uzbekistan, tourist flows in 2024–2025, service exports, employment in tourism industries, and the share of tourism in GDP. As an original authorial approach, the study proposes a cluster model managed through territorial specialization, transport and logistics connectivity, a unified digital platform, a “final product chain,” and forecast-based indicators. The research findings show that improving the efficiency of tourism clusters requires the introduction of territorial integration in a “center–satellite” format, a KPI system focused on tourist spending and length of stay, public-private partnership mechanisms, branding, and data-driven management tools.
