This paper argues that domestic tourism can present new opportunities and boost the recovery process in whole tourism field of Uzbekistan

Introduction

Can be the domestic tourism a factor recovers the hospitality and tourism industry at national level? The end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 brought unexpected challenges through the Pandemic to all industries including Tourism. As Tourism industry had already been integrated with economy of every single country of the world, it was distinct from the beginning that it would cost Tourism industry to big-budget to be recovered again. The 2019 was catastrophic as COVID-19 caused to lockdown the borders for any type of visitations including exports and imports for unpredicted period (Davies, 2020). Even countries that totally rely on tourism and travel for building up their budgets had restricted inbound and outbound travels (Strauss, 2020).

Uzbekistan had also taken immediate measures to tackle negative effects of Pandemic on territory of the country. Quarantine regime was in power from March 2020 in the all regions of Uzbekistan to August, 2020. From that time on, rules of quarantine were relieved gradually. In the first half of 2020 number of international visits decreased from 5 million to 1.2 million comparatively to 2019. It was logical that Committee of Tourism of the Republic of Uzbekistan hyper focused on domestic tourism around the country to rescue the industry and minimizing unemployment in the field (https://uzbektourism.uz/research/statistics). In Uzbekistan alone, about 45,000 to 50,000 reservations (tour packages) have been canceled. That's a “bad” number of course. The question now is how travel agencies should cover themselves. This note’s broader purpose is to higher recognize the pandemic’s effect now no longer best at the tourism enterprise however on coverage implementation on the worldwide level. Although Pandemic was challenging for many countries, it brought immense improvements and reforms that truly transformed the tourism policy in the some countries (Ostonov, 2021). From a cursory glance, the new policy of Uzbek Tourism reviewed the current state of tourism in the country and worked on all possible means of turning the crisis into a new opportunity for its further development (Muminov2021).
During the pandemic and crisis, fundamental blows got here to the tourism industry, each economically and in phrases of the disruption of social relations. (Kun.uz. 2020) The COVID-19 pandemic has dealt an extreme blow to international tourism and entertainment sectors, consisting of the hospitality subsector and its entire price chain. Hotel and tourism call for approached zero among April and mid-June, starting a process of deglobalization (Niewiadomsky, 2020). The fall with inside the interest will possibly be historic even in a quick restoration scenario across the ultimate area of the year. The contemporary UNWTO forecasts (UNWTO, 2020) factor to numerous eventualities that see a lower in worldwide arrivals through 58% and 78%. The socio-financial effects may be enormous, as tourism is a chief financial area presenting livelihoods for masses of hundreds of thousands of human beings. People aren't visiting in global tourism. About three billion human beings are presently in isolation (cite). About seventy-five million jobs had been misplaced in global tourism (cite). Passengers play a severe function withinside the switch of epidemics or pandemics among locations (Hollingsworth, Ferguson, & Anderson, 2006). In latest months, the sector is centered on epidemics because of the emergence of a new coronavirus versus (CITE).
