Abstract

This article examines the ways and means of using rural tourism for the development of ecotourism in Uzbekistan. Moreover, paper investigates major points of the development in the field. It concludes major points while showing better developments in the review. In Uzbekistan agriculture is an important sector for enhancing living standards and achieving economic growth because a) it constitutes 38 per cent of the country's GDP and b) 60 per cent of the population relies on agriculture for sustenance. Moreover, the farm rural tourism services (horsing, biking, etc.) provided by the farmers may attract rural tourists. This specialization within the dual agriculture was to a large extent the result of a conscious government strategy, because in many countries cotton is grown by smallholders without sophisticated machinery. Starting with opportunities, these are mainly linked to Presidential decrees related to Agriculture, notably “On Further development of farms and dehkans, and on State support of entrepreneurs of the Republic” and others that encourage growth in the agriculture sector.
