Abstract: UNWTO’s project, the Great Silk Road, plays an important role in the sustainable development of tourism in Central Asia and in Uzbekistan. In this study UNWTO’s Silk Road project is analyzed for the sustainable development of tourism in the Central Asia region. A legal assessment has been made of the partnership between the UNWTO and the Republic of Uzbekistan in terms of development of the tourism industry. The bilateral legal norms between UNWTO and Uzbekistan - i.e., the important and last tendencies of the sphere of tourism- are emphasized by the author. It developed conclusions and proposals on strengthening the institutional position of UNWTO in Central Asia. Accordingly, the research puts forward a restructuring of the UNWTO concerning institutional commissions by establishing the Regional Commission for Central Asia under UNWTO and placing its headquarters in Uzbekistan, the heart of the ancient Great Silk Road. Furthermore, this paper discusses facts promoting legal and practical issues for a multi-visa cooperation system in Central Asia region.
