THE POSSIBILITIES OF USING INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM IN NEW UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

The transformative potential of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the growth of New Uzbekistan's tourism industry is examined in this abstract. The tourism industry in the nation is well-positioned to reap the rewards of digital technologies as it enters a major modernization phase. There are several benefits to utilizing ICT, such as promoting cultural heritage, improving visitor experiences, optimizing operations, and encouraging environmentally friendly tourism. Uzbekistan can draw attention from around the world while maintaining its rich cultural past by embracing digital platforms for promotion, putting online booking systems in place, guaranteeing connection, and incorporating smart tourist solutions. To fully utilize ICT in tourism, issues including digital literacy, cybersecurity, infrastructure development, and data privacy must be resolved. Collaborative efforts between government, private sectors, and local communities are essential to drive this transformation, positioning New Uzbekistan as a technology-driven tourist destination while honoring its historical significance and natural beauty.
