This article analyzes the opportunities for developing ecotourism based on Uzbekistan’s natural resources and its impact on economic activity.

As an example, the experience of the Zaamin National Park in Jizzakh region is presented. The study applies statistical analysis, SWOT analysis, and a regional comparative approach. The results demonstrate that the development of ecotourism through a comprehensive approach can contribute to economic stability.
