The rapid development of the tourism industry is generating deep structural changes in the management of tourism infrastructure in Uzbekistan. This article provides a systematic analysis of the key components of tourism infrastructure, its development trends, and interactions with major economic factors. The study comparatively examines statistical data from 2016-2024 on the expansion of hotel capacity, improvements in transport and logistics systems, growth in investment flows, formation of regional tourism clusters, and service quality enhancements. Moreover, the impact of infrastructure development on tourism demand, the impulse of state policies and reforms on the sector, as well as pandemic-related disruptions and post-pandemic recovery dynamics, are assessed using econometric models. The findings contribute to the development of practical recommendations aimed at modernizing tourism infrastructure, increasing international tourist inflows, improving regional infrastructure efficiency, and ensuring sustainable economic growth.
