In New Uzbekistan, large-scale reforms are being carried out towards the development of the innovative sector of the tourism economy, determining the patterns of cluster development of the tourism industry and improving the mechanism for managing the innovative cluster of regional tourism.

It is known that Our President Sh. Mirziyoyev, at a video conference held on March 29, 2023 on the issues of increasing the tourism potential of our country, said: “Tourism is a vast area that has both economic and socio-cultural significance, and ranks third in the world in terms of profitability. Another important aspect is that it creates many jobs at low cost.”

Really using this potential in order to successfully solve these problems: determine the specifics of tourism services, consider the structure, problems and prospects for the development of tourism clusters, and also explore the theoretical and practical aspects of the cluster approach. A cluster approach to the tourism industry, conducting scientific research in such promising areas as ensuring innovative development, has become a pressing issue today.
