This article analyzes the main macroeconomic indicators of tourism development in Uzbekistan and evaluates
their impact on economic growth. The study examines tourism’s share in GDP, the flow of foreign tourists, tourism
services exports, employment, and investment indicators based on statistical data. The empirical analysis shows that the
development of tourism infrastructure and the increase in tourist flows contribute to the growth of the service sector in
the national economy. Based on the results of the study, scientific and practical recommendations aimed at ensuring the
sustainable development of the tourism sector are proposed
