Inclusive tourism, which focuses on providing accessible and equitable travel experiences for all individuals, regardless of their physical, cognitive, or socio-economic limitations, has become an essential aspect of the global tourism industry. In Uzbekistan, a country rich in historical and cultural landmarks, the potential for inclusive tourism is significant, but remains underdeveloped. This article examines the current state of inclusive tourism in Uzbekistan, explores the challenges and opportunities, and outlines the steps required for its growth. The aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how inclusive tourism can contribute to both the country's tourism industry and its socio-economic development.
