This article analyzes the impact of transport infrastructure on destination development and demonstrates how it influences the traditional demand for tourism at the international trade level. An efficient transportation system and adequate infrastructure are essential for the growth of the tourism sector. Having well-developed transport infrastructure leads to lower transportation and trade costs and reduces travel distance, which contributes to the development of international tourism. Based on panel data from 22 countries that traded with Uzbekistan during the period 2003–2023, the study examines bilateral tourism flows over that time. We applied the gravity model to international tourism flows, controlling for the role of infrastructure in the dataset and disaggregating the data by country and time. The results show that inbound tourism to Uzbekistan is strongly influenced by both the direct and indirect development of its transport infrastructure. According to our findings, Uzbekistan can strategically develop its tourism sector by improving its transportation infrastructure – specifically railways, roads, and air transport.

This article conceptualizes art tourism as an emerging field at the intersection of culture, creative industries, and visitor experience. Based on content analysis of international/local scholarship (MacCannell, Bourdieu, Florida, Richards) and Uzbekistan’s policy framework (2024 Creative Economy Law), an integrative model is proposed linking: (1) theoretical–legal foundations; (2) practical formats; (3) territorial–urban contexts; and (4) psychosocial functions. The model identifies five features: centrality of aesthetic experience, active participation, artist–audience interaction, embeddedness in the creative economy, and convergence of socio-cultural, economic, and aesthetic value. Uzbek cases (Savitsky Museum, Human House, Art Station, biennials) show institutionalization. Recognizing art tourism as a distinct segment provides a basis for service quality assessment enriched with experiential and affective indicators.
