Path Dependency and Innovation for Improving Urban Bicycle Tourism: The Case Study of the Samarkand Region

Abstract

Cycling has received a lot of attention in several places during the past ten years. Taking advantage of the enhanced infrastructure and the options for visitors to ride bicycles around the city, a wide range of opportunities were established for the development of cycling tourism as a positive growth rate of sustainable tourism in the city. This study's objective is to demonstrate the strong dynamics driving the growth of urban bicycle tourism. This evolution may be seen in the innovation process based on precedents from the bicycle infrastructure of many other industrialized nations as well as the incremental changes in local socio-technical mobility arrangements. Urban planning, bicycle tourist services, communication and space development, bike lanes, and rental bike options are the criteria based on which frames are accepted. The analysis provides fresh research based on models from other riding towns and incorporates information from Samarkand to discover these opportunities for the growth of urban bicycle tourism. Innovative services or alternative offers that assist bicycle tourism may be found in each of the four categories. However, the study of human opinion may be the most significant source of steady rejuvenation. It has been demonstrated that key routes are necessary for the growth of urban bicycle tourism and the support of regional cycling culture. The local populace should view bicycle tourism as connected to regular cycling.
