Abstract

This study explores the potential for modernizing tourism infrastructure as a pivotal area of cooperation between Uzbekistan and Turkey. With both countries sharing deep historical, cultural, and linguistic ties, tourism offers a strategic platform for bilateral growth. The paper investigates current tourism frameworks, identifies infrastructural challenges, and highlights opportunities for joint investments, digital transformation, and heritage preservation. Using a qualitative methodology based on policy analysis and comparative development reports, this research demonstrates that strengthening tourism infrastructure can enhance economic ties, cultural exchange, and regional integration. The findings suggest that through mutual cooperation in technology adoption, hospitality standards, and human resource development, both countries can achieve sustainable tourism growth.
