The approachused in this study includes qualitative data from an extreme review of the available academic literature, the publication(s),and the national tourism publications regarding the tourism industry, together with a qualitative analysis of the sector.The study found that while tourism service enterprises in Uzbekistan have a number of strengths to leverage in terms ofrich cultural resources, increased government support, and increased opportunities for market expansion, they are alsofacing a number of constraints such as limited capacity for strategic planning, insufficient management skill, and insufficientuse of digital tools for management.
