Public-private partnership, tourism, hotel industry, concession, long-term lease, infrastructure, Turkish experience, Singapore experience.Abstract
This scientific article analyzes the international experience of public-private partnership (PPP) in the tourism and hospitality sector, using Turkey and Singapore as examples. Tourism is one of the most dynamically developing sectors of the global economy, and PPP mechanisms play an important role in its development. The study uses comparative analysis, systematic approach, and document analysis methods. The results identify the specific features, advantages, and limitations of PPP models in the tourism sector of Turkey and Singapore, and assess the possibilities of adapting them to Uzbekistan‘s conditions. In particular, Turkey’s experience of stimulating hotel construction through the “sheritme yeri” system and 49-year long-term lease contracts, as well as Singapore‘s practice of designating tourism as a strategic direction of economic development and creating infrastructure in harmony with the private sector, are analyzed. The article develops practical recommendations for applying these experiences in Uzbekistan.
