Keywords:

This article analyzes the opportunities for the development of ecotourism in Uzbekistan and the compatibility of the principles of sustainability. Ecotourism is of great importance not only as a means of ensuring environmental protection, but also as a means of increasing the income of the population living in rural areas, promoting cultural heritage and strengthening economic activity. The natural and geographical opportunities of Uzbekistan, including mountainous areas, desert landscapes, biosphere reserves and national parks, have great potential for ecotourism activities. The article covers the principles of sustainability - namely, ecological balance, rational use of resources, ensuring the participation of local communities and developing infrastructure on an environmentally friendly basis. The role of public policy, the private sector, and international experience in the development of ecotourism is also assessed, and proposals for promising areas are developed.
