The digital transformation of the global economy has significantly influenced the development of the tourism
industry. In Uzbekistan, important reforms are being implemented to digitalize tourism services through electronic visa
systems, online booking platforms, digital payments, and smart tourism technologies. This article analyzes the current state
of tourism digitalization in Uzbekistan and evaluates its future development prospects. The study is based on statistical
data on international tourist arrivals and tourism service indicators for 2018–2025. The research findings show that
digital technologies contribute to increasing tourist flows, improving service quality, and enhancing the competitiveness of
Uzbekistan’s tourism sector. The article also identifies existing challenges and proposes recommendations for the further
development of digital tourism in Uzbekistan.
