Development of Historical and Cultural Recreation in the Period of Globalization
Abstract
Tourism plays a vital role in the global economic landscape, contributing approximately 10% to the world’s GDP and providing employment for over 260 million people. Among its diverse sectors, historical and cultural recreation is gaining prominence due to its potential for sustainable development and cultural preservation. This paper explores the development of historical and cultural recreation, emphasizing its significance in enhancing regional tourism, especially in the context of globalization. Using methodological tools such as comparative analysis and statistical evaluation, the research highlights how historical sites, cultural monuments, and archaeological landmarks contribute to socio-economic growth. The case of Namangan region illustrates how historical and cultural assets can be effectively integrated into tourism strategies, with more than 250 sites offering opportunities for educational, spiritual, and leisure-based tourism. The findings underscore the importance of modern infrastructure, digital promotion, and strategic planning in optimizing the recreational value of cultural heritage. Additionally, the paper advocates for the inclusion of pilgrimage-based recreation within traditional classifications to enrich cultural tourism offerings. Sustainable investment in recreational infrastructure and heritage conservation is essential for boosting tourism flows, job creation, and regional development. The research concludes that a well-organized, historically-rooted recreation sector can significantly enhance both national identity and economic resilience in Uzbekistan and beyond.
