CATERING ORGANIZATION FOR FOREIGN TOURISTS IN UZBEKISTAN

This article investigates current challenges and trends in the organisation of catering for foreign tourists in the Republic of Uzbekistan, drawing on official data for 2024–2026. In 2025, a record 11.7 million foreign tourists visited the country — a sixfold increase over eight years. Between January and April 2026, approximately 4 million visitors were already received, representing growth of around 30%. The state tourism development programme targets 20 million tourists by 2030.
