Methods of Effective Use of Tourist Resources: Sustainable Tourism Development in The Regions (The Case of Samarkand Region)

Nargiza Abduvakhidova — 2025-04-14

This study explores the sustainable development of tourism in the regions of Uzbekistan, with a particular emphasis on the Samarkand region. The research aims to identify effective methods for the utilization of tourist resources that simultaneously support environmental sustainability and socio-economic advancement. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative data from surveys conducted with local tourism stakeholders—such as business owners, tourists, and municipal officials—with qualitative insights drawn from interviews and focus group discussions. Additionally, secondary data from official statistics and regional tourism strategies were analyzed to support the findings. Results reveal that although Samarkand is rich in cultural and historical assets, sustainable tourism efforts face several challenges, including infrastructure limitations, insufficient digital integration, and fluctuations in seasonal demand. Nonetheless, the study highlights successful practices such as community-based tourism models, eco-tourism routes, and strategic public-private partnerships that contribute to greater sustainability and inclusivity. The research offers a theoretical contribution by proposing a region-specific framework that aligns economic development with the preservation of cultural heritage, particularly within the unique socio-political context of a post-Soviet Central Asian setting. Practical implications point toward the need for improved digital infrastructure, targeted capacity-building initiatives for local actors, and financial incentives for projects aligned with sustainable tourism goals. Limitations of the study include a relatively small sample size and a focus confined to one geographic region, which may limit the broader applicability of the findings. Future research is encouraged to expand this analysis across multiple regions and include longitudinal data to observe evolving trends in sustainable tourism development.

Driving Innovation in Adventure Tourism through Certification Systems: A Diffusion of Innovations Perspective

Taniyev Ahmadjon — 2025-04-16

Innovation is vital for the survival and competitiveness of tourism enterprises, particularly in the dynamic and experience-driven sector of adventure tourism. This article explores how national certification and quality assurance systems act as catalysts for systemic innovation, drawing upon Rogers of Innovations (DOI) theory. Through a qualitative multi-case study of three national certification schemes—VisitScotland Quality Assurance (QA), New Zealand Qualmark (QM), and Iceland's Vakinn—the research examines the impact of innovation attributes such as relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability on the diffusion process. The findings suggest that relative advantage and compatibility are the most influential drivers for adoption, while complexity and observability play moderate roles, and trialability remains limited. Certifications, although intended to promote standardization and safety, can both facilitate and hinder innovation depending on their design, focus, and adaptability to specific tourism sub-sectors. The study reveals the nuanced dynamics between innovation and standardization, highlighting the importance of aligning certification systems with the unique needs of experience-based tourism. The article concludes with recommendations for developing more flexible and inclusive certification frameworks that promote innovation without compromising authenticity or sustainability.

Methodological Aspects of Management Accounting in Construction Organizations

Mamutova Amina Rakhmetovna — 2025-04-23

The complexity and specificity of construction processes demand an advanced approach to management accounting that ensures financial transparency, cost control, and efficient resource allocation. Traditional accounting models often fall short in addressing the dynamic, project-based, and multi-phase nature of construction activities, especially in the context of digital transformation and sustainability trends. Despite the growing body of research on management accounting, practical implementation in construction organizations remains inconsistent, particularly in integrating cost accounting with life cycle analysis and digital platforms. This study aims to analyze the methodological aspects of management accounting in construction organizations, assess existing practices, and propose an improved accounting framework tailored to industry-specific needs. The findings reveal key shortcomings in current practices, such as limited digital integration, lack of accounting by responsibility centers, and insufficient budgeting coordination. The study proposes aligning cost management with the construction project's life cycle and integrating ERP and BIM technologies for real-time decision-making. It also introduces strategies for risk sensitivity analysis and life cycle costing to improve long-term financial outcomes. The research presents a holistic methodology that incorporates traditional cost accounting methods—such as custom, actual, and normative approaches—with modern digital tools and sustainable construction practices. The proposed model enhances the effectiveness of financial planning, improves internal control, and supports strategic sustainability. It provides construction managers with a comprehensive tool for informed decision-making and optimizing project performance from planning to utilization.

Elnurjon Tuychiev Kosim o’g’li — 2025-05-03

This study explores the capabilities of restaurants to attract and retain loyal customers in an increasingly competitive environment. Customer loyalty is examined as a crucial factor for sustainable success in the restaurant industry, with particular attention to food quality, pricing strategies, customer service, ambiance, loyalty programs, and online presence.The research employs a mixed-method approach based on descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Data was collected via an online survey distributed through social media platforms, primarily targeting respondents from Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Microsoft Excel was utilized for quantitative data processing, and open-ended responses were thematically categorized to enrich the qualitative findings. The findings reveal that food quality, service excellence, and fair pricing are the primary determinants of customer loyalty.
