Nowadays, interest in the study of temples and shrines is growing in the world, because holy places have become an integral part of people's daily life. Today, in the 21st century, which is rapidly developing, not only in the countries of the world, but at the same time in New Uzbekistan, attitudes towards holy places and shrines are changing.

Also, it is necessary to fully implement large-scale opportunities in the field of domestic tourism. Thousands of historical monuments have been erected in our country, which still captivate the people of the whole world. They embody the rich spiritual values of our people, which have been formed over the centuries, as well as the potential of creativity and creativity, which have been left to future generations from dozens of our ancestors. is a priceless and rare heritage. The history of these structures goes back to the distant past, the achievements of the people of our country, our ancestors in architecture, many centuries ago, they were able to show the subtle aspects of art in their structures beautifully and attractively. the symbol of the hard-working people is clearly embodied[3]. People are still amazed by the fact that our historical monuments were built on the basis of precise and complex geometric calculations, the combination of elegant decorations and patterns, and the fact that they were built both beautiful and majestic, strong and magnificent. The global importance of these historical monuments, which have withstood the tests of nature for centuries and add beauty to our cities, can be clearly seen in the inclusion of more than 4,000 historical monuments in the territory of Uzbekistan in the list of UNESCO, one of the most prestigious organizations in the world. Since we gained independence, under the initiative and direct leadership of our first President I.A. Karimov, large-scale creative works have been carried out for the development of our country. At this point, it is worth highlighting the efforts made in the restoration and repair of historical monuments in our country, the conversion of mausoleums where the graves of our dear grandfathers are located into holy places, and the improvement of our historical monuments.

After gaining independence, the surroundings of historical and cultural monuments were opened in every way and brought to their previous level and are being brought back. One of the most important tasks is to study and preserve the historical and cultural monuments of national importance, to show the cultural heritage of the people and their way of life. Study of historical and cultural monuments and protection of their material and architectural condition is carried out in several stages: - On the basis of the study of the historical and cultural heritage of Uzbekistan, a research program for the cadastre of monuments was developed, the requirements of world standards were set for the creation of the cadastre, and the order and purpose of its creation were determined; 245 Journal of Public Diplomacy and International Studies www. grnjournal.us - In the course of work, the following three-step description of registration of objects was determined in principle: 1) their description for the registration of monuments and newly discovered urban planning and architectural objects; 2) general description of registered monuments and newly discovered objects; 3) detailed description of rare objects of world importance.

Tourism, which affects the country's balance of payments and is an active source of foreign currency, can become an important part of the gross national income of Uzbekistan both now and in the future. In this sense, taking into account the spending of foreign currency inside the country, it is important to develop and support domestic tourism in our region[2]. The role of adopted laws, decisions, decrees and other normative legal documents aimed at further development of the tourism sector in Uzbekistan and increasing the attractiveness of the republic in this regard is analyzed. As a clear proof of this, the law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On the protection and use of cultural heritage objects" has become important. 44 of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On approval of the State program for the protection, preservation, promotion and use of intangible cultural heritage objects in Uzbekistan in 2010- 2020", "Holy shrines, shrines, mosques and "On effective organization of cemetery beautification" decisions are important. The orders of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On the protection of material, cultural and archeological heritage objects and improving their use" and other regulatory legal documents related to this field are becoming important[4]. Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated February 7, 2017 "On the strategy of actions for the further development of the Republic of Uzbekistan" No. PF-4947 and O' We can note that the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On the Development Strategy of New Uzbekistan for 2022-2026" also places special emphasis on the development of the tourism sector.
