Uzbekistan has immense potential for tourism development with its rich cultural heritage and strategic location on the Silk Road. However, financial constraints have hindered the sector’s full growth. This paper examines the impact of innovative financial instruments, including public-private partnerships (PPPs), green bonds, tourism investment funds, and crowdfunding platforms, on the development of Uzbekistan’s tourism industry. The study highlights the role of these instruments in fostering infrastructure development, increasing private sector participation, and enhancing sustainability.
