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.
