This article provides a scientific analysis of the current state, development trends, existing problems, and future opportunities of tourism infrastructure in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The main objective of the article is to define strategic directions and develop scientifically grounded recommendations aimed at transforming the country’s tourism infrastructure into a stable and competitive system. Throughout the research, both national and international sources were analyzed, and regional tables were used to demonstrate the disproportionate development of infrastructure across the country. Furthermore, the key components of tourism infrastructure - including transport, accommodation, information and communication technologies, sanitation, logistics, and digital infrastructure - were studied in detail. The scientific views of various scholars were critically examined, and pressing issues in infrastructure reform were highlighted. These include regional inequality, low quality of services, and the lack of adequate information support. This article presents a number of proposals to improve nationally-based strategies for the sustainable development of tourism in Uzbekistan.
