Abstract: Agrotourism is considered as an economic sector that has a positive impact on the 

economy of few countries of the world in the 21st century. According to the International Tourism 

Organization, a large part of the world's production and economic turnover falls on the field of 

agrotourism. In the coming years, it is expected to have a great influence on the economy of the 

whole world and provide employment to the unemployed population. This article talks about the 

origin of agrotourism, countries with developed agrotourism and future prospects. 
 
Keywords: Uzbekistan, tourism, agrotourism, agriculture, ecotourism, pilgrimage tourism, 

guesthouses. 

 
  
The Republic of Uzbekistan is an important country in Central Asia. Among the neighboring 

countries, it is among the countries that have the opportunity to further develop agrotourism, 

ecotourism, and pilgrimage tourism and can easily compete in this regard. 

The presence of our high culture, ancient cities that have witnessed the development of humanity, 

healing nature, high mountains, green valleys, and clear spring water opens a great way for our 

country to develop these areas. 

In agrotourism, it would be appropriate to effectively use the opportunities of the rich and fertile land 

resources of our country, to use the water resources wisely, and to use the possibilities of water 

conservation, thereby becoming an example to the world community. In addition, the development 

of various programs and special strategies for employing the local population is a significant 

contribution to the income of the population. Today, international scientific and popular magazines 

are putting forward many opinions aimed at showing the place and importance of agrotourism in 

various media. 

Today, agrotourism has become one of the most profitable industries in the world. According to 

experts, the further development of this network is important not only for the effective solution of 

socio-economic issues, but also for the elimination of environmental problems. According to the 

World Tourism Organization, more than 210 million workers are currently employed in the tourism 

industry, and the annual income from it is 770 billion US dollars. At the same time, tourism is also 

developing in developing countries. The countries in the Asia-Pacific, Middle and Middle East and 

Europe regions, which cover almost half of the tourist market, are leading in this place. Experts say 

that the natural and adventure tourism network, which is part of the agrotourism network, is 

developing rapidly in the tourism industry. 

According to the UN data, even relatively small countries receive income from ecotourism in the 

amount of 1.4 million USD, 1.4 million USD in Ecuador, 1.18 million USD in Costa Rica, 1.14 

million USD in Nepal and 1.55 million USD in Nepal. It is worth saying that the income of these 

countries from agrotourism and ecotourism is 70-80% of the country's gross domestic product.

Currently, in the world tourism industry, the income from international tourism ranks third after the 

automobile, oil, and gas production industries.  

In our country, there are not only world-famous ancient cities such as Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, 

Termiz, which attract foreign tourists, historical monuments, but also unique beautiful nature related 

to agrotourism, landscapes (desert, desert hills, mountain s, lowlands), a variety of unique flora and 

fauna, rare, world-important archaeological findings, paleontological remains, rare geological 

sections in the world and the presence of more than 8000 similar natural monuments in the 

development of agrotourism is important. 

In addition, Uzbekistan is located in the middle of Central Asia in a convenient transport-

geographical area for the development of agrotourism, connected by various developed 

communication routes, and is a leader in the world in terms of its international tourism potential. 

owns the runes. 

There are problems such as lack of routes, lack of infrastructure in certain areas, and low level of 

environmental knowledge that hinder the full development of agro-tourism in the country. 

Agrotourism is natural tourism, which includes creation and understanding of the natural 

environment, direct acquaintance with the production process of agricultural products. Its 

management is carried out in such a way that the resulting activity is ecologically, socially and 

culturally sustainable, and includes the "natural environment", cultural contents, "ecological 

sustainability" adequate income for the local population and the long-term protection of the 

resources used. Agrotourism, like any other type of tourism, should be ecologically sustainable, give 

pleasure to tourists and bring income to local residents. In addition, it should "fit in" with the natural 

and cultural environment. The meaning of the word "fit" is that the style, size and variety of this 

activity must correspond to the scale and character of the landscape and the customs of the local 

population. 

According to the definition of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, "Ecological 

tourism or agrotourism is an approach to nature conservation in order to travel responsibly with 

respect to the natural environment, study without harming natural areas, and enjoy the unique 

attractions of nature." it has a "soft" effect on the environment, activates the socio-economic 

conditions of the local people and ensures that they receive benefits from this activity." 

The tourism society believes that "agritourism provides nature protection as a result of responsible 

travel to natural areas and improves the living standards of local people." 

The World Wildlife Fund - "Ecotourism is a trip to relatively unspoiled areas, in order to get an idea 

of the cultural and ethnographic characteristics, without violating the integrity of agrotourism, it 

creates such economic conditions in which the protection of nature and natural resources benefit the 

local people." defines. 

In another definition, "Agrotourism is not only a trip to exotic natural areas, their fauna and flora, 

with educational and spiritual goals in mind, but also a set of interrelated complexes with the 

solution of socio-economic issues. ‖ is understood as. 

Although these definitions differ from each other only partially, their main conclusion is to preserve 

nature, preserve and increase the flora and fauna, establish protected areas, national natural parks for 

this purpose, and encourage the local population to implies the goal of improving their living 

conditions as a result of providing jobs, enriching the state budget by attracting local and foreign 

investors. 

1. Analyzing different definitions of the concept of "ecological tourism" and summarizing it, it 

shows that it is necessary to distinguish the following signs: 

2. indirect use of wildlife as an environment visited by tourists; 

3. minimal damage to the environment;

4. have a recreational and positive educational effect on a person; 

5. getting to know new landscapes, studying flora and fauna samples for protection; 

6. use of funds received from tourism to protect and restore the flora and fauna of all regions of the 

world; 

7. all tourists and service providers to living nature and 

8. compliance with the code of respect for local residents, etc. 

Summarizing the concept of "ecological tourism" can be the basis for the following conclusions: The 

principles formed in the above-mentioned signs of tourism organization are not local, but global in 

nature. Therefore, these principles should apply not only to certain parts of the world or to certain 

parts of the land, water and air space, but to the field of tourist activity in the whole world. 

Also, the theoretical justification of the concept of "ecological tourism" allows to adapt the minds of 

the majority of the population living in the region to the requirements of agrotourism. This, in turn, 

gradually forms the optimal technology for the development of tourist activities without harming 

natural resources. 

Thus, the agrotourism system is based on the principles that can be used in various types of tourist 

activity. These are: educational or adventure trips (walking, horseback riding, water, mountain, 

hiking, etc.), student vacations, scientific expeditions, weekend excursions, summer children's 

camps, etc. 

Interest in agrotourism has emerged due to growing demand for authentic tourist experiences and 

growing interest in nature conservation. It includes types of tourism that adapt to natural, cultural and 

social values and promote the harmony of culture and nature in the natural environment. 

According to the information of international organizations, the importance of agrotourism compared 

to other types of tourism is increasing year by year. According to experts, despite the fact that 

agrotourism is a new field, its popularity is accelerating. 

Agrotourism is one of the developing industries today. This type of tourism appeared in Western 

Europe in the 60s of the 20th century and developed mainly in countries such as Spain, Italy and 

France. 

The reasons for the emergence and growth of agrotourism are the aspiration of city residents to rest 

in the heart of nature and get to know the life of a peasant family. It allows the tourist to relax and 

enjoy natural dairy and meat products, well-grown vegetables and fruits. Resting in the heart of 

nature, enjoying various fruits in the gardens, preparing food under the open sky from vegetables 

from cultivated fields, fishing from lakes, staying in field and mehon houses give people a special 

pleasure. 

With the development of agrotourism, the economy of some countries is developing rapidly. Another 

advantage of agrotourism is that it increases the ecological knowledge and general cultural level of 

the visiting population and the local population. 

Currently, agrotourism is not a purely commercial field, agrotourism does not require large 

investments like other types of tourism. On the contrary, it is considered sufficient to use all the 

opportunities in the districts and villages. Another feature of agrotourism is that it does not require 

the establishment of large hospitality or tour companies in this area. As agrotourism penetrates into 

the countries of the world, in some countries, the income from this field of tourism has been able to 

equalize with other fields of tourism. And as a result, attention is paid to the development of 

agrotourism. 

If we look at the international experience of the development of agrotourism, now this branch of 

tourism, the field of agrotourism, is highly developing in Spain. The number of hotels, villas, home 

hotels and companies related to agrotourism is increasing day by day. In Spain, agrotourism provides 

an opportunity to taste wine regions together with travel. And vacationing in farmhouses is a good

reason to get to know the Spanish culture and lifestyle. Farmers in Spain are trying to make full use 

of these opportunities, realizing that agritourism is a new way to increase their capital. 

The uniqueness of agrotourism in Germany is that tourists who go to the villages have the 

opportunity to participate in the festivals and holidays held in the villages, in addition to living and 

eating in farm houses. In Germany, there is no need for new accommodation for tourists in rural 

areas, because the rural population prefers to accommodate tourists in their own homes. Villagers 

have long-term experience in creating opportunities for vacationers. Here, agrotourism is directly 

connected with holidays and festivals. Village fairs are held regularly. For example, the beer festival 

is very popular and is held in Munich. This place is visited by tourists from all over the world. Many 

villages try to attract tourists with entertaining holidays. 

Agrotourism is an additional source of income for farmers in the United States. Autumn is the season 

for the people of Amireka to travel to the countryside. Because all fruits and vegetables are ripe. 

Residents of the city often want to have fun here, such as picking fruits, walking in the cornfields, 

and picking pumpkins with their children. Farmers manage it very well because 30% of the income 

of farmers comes from this sector. It is said that this income will increase by 60% in the future. 

Opportunities have been created to hold wedding ceremonies in some farms, which in itself increases 

the flow of tourists. 

The development of agrotourism is the development of handicrafts and trade, new professions appear 

in the field of tourism, the development of infrastructure and services in districts and villages. In 

particular, jobs are created in villages through agrotourism. Eco-friendly products are produced. As a 

result of the development of agrotourism, the volume and quality of the products grown increases, 

which in itself increases the export potential of our country and ensures its entry into the world 

market, and the country increases its prestige in the world. It will increase the circulation of money 

in the country and improve the living conditions of its inhabitants. After the improvement of the way 

of living of the population, the outlook and opinions will change. 

There will be an exchange of culture and ideas between tourists from abroad and local residents. At 

the same time, it provides opportunities for local residents to earn additional income. Because they 

can offer agro-tourism services and products using their capabilities. 

In short, the development of agrotourism allows the population to create jobs, use the experience of 

new personnel, and thereby attract tourists. It also causes positive changes such as keeping tourists in 

the country for a longer period of time, increasing the income of the population, improving the living 

environment, improving the social infrastructure in the villages, improving the quality of tourist 

services and agro-tourism products. Ecologically clean areas and the use of new ideas in nature 

protection also attract tourists. In a word, the development of agrotourism stabilizes the country's 

economy and increases the well-being of rural residents.
