ENHANCING THE METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM VILLAGES IN UZBEKISTAN

This article examines the methodological foundations for the sustainable development of tourism villages in
Uzbekistan. The study aims to systematize conceptual, managerial, infrastructural, and evaluative approaches to tourism
village development and to propose an integrated methodological framework applicable to Uzbekistan. The research
is based on a systems approach, comparative analysis, document analysis, and conceptual synthesis. The findings
show that tourism villages should be interpreted not merely as rural locations with tourism potential, but as integrated
destination systems combining local resources, accommodation facilities, service chains, community participation,
destination governance, and sustainability indicators
