\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The demand for travel is gaining momentum day by day. According to the 2017 data of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), tourism is one of the most profitable and dynamic sectors of the world economy. In terms of profitability, it is second only to oil production and processing. The global number of tourist arrivals increased from 25 million in 1950 to 1.32 billion in 2017. Tourism accounts for about 10% of the world\u2019s Gross Domestic Product, 7% of world trade, every 10th workplace, 11% of global consumer spending and 5% of all tax revenues.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The development of modern technologies and the decrease of transportation costs have led to the growth of interest in tourism among the general public. In addition, tourism has demonstrated its economic sustainability during the financial crisis. UNWTO forecasts an average annual growth of 3.3% in international tourist arrivals by 2030.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Our country today occupies a strong position in the market of international tourism. Uzbekistan does not lag behind the world trends, being aware of the importance of the tourism industry for the economy as a whole and the regions of the country.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The turning point in the state policy in the field of tourism can be considered the adoption of the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan of December 2, 2016 \u2116UP\u20134861 \u00abOn Measures to Ensure the Accelerated Development of the Tourism Industry of the Republic of Uzbekistan\u00bb. Since then, an integrated approach to the development of the tourism industry of the country is being implemented. In this regard, the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan of February 3, 2018 \u2116 UP-5326 \u00abOn Additional Organizational Measures to Create Favorable Conditions for the Development of Tourism Potential of the Republic of Uzbekistan\u00bb is aimed at improving the institutional framework, the development of infrastructure in the field of tourism, creating a favorable environment for travel.<\/div>\r\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The adoption by the President in February of this year of four important documents is the embodiment of the government\u2019s great attention to this sector. These documents define the priorities for the development of the industry, increasing the tourism potential, and provide many benefits and preferences for further expansion of domestic tourism.
