Excursion services — organized tours and guided visits to cultural, historical, natural, and recreational sites — play a central role in the tourism industry. In Uzbekistan, rising international arrivals, expansion of accommodation infrastructure, and growing demand for cultural and heritage experiences make high-quality excursion services increasingly important. This article explores the concept and types of excursions, analyses recent Uzbekistan tourism data, and discusses how excursion services can contribute to sustainable growth, visitor satisfaction, and economic benefits. It also reviews modern trends such as digitalization, customization, and responsible tourism in the Uzbek context.
