Hotel industry, public administration, tourism policy, investment climate, regulatory framework, international standards, subsidies, Uzbekistan.Abstract
This scientific article analyzes the role of public administration in the development of the hotel industry, its main directions, mechanisms, and effectiveness. As a key component of tourism infrastructure, the hotel industry has a multiplicative impact on many sectors of the economy. The study uses comparative analysis, systematic approach, and document analysis methods. Institutional reforms, tax and customs benefits, subsidies and grants, infrastructure development programs, as well as target indicators set in the “Uzbekistan – 2030” strategy are analyzed using the example of Uzbekistan. The research shows that the main functions of public administration are creating a favorable investment climate, shaping the regulatory framework, implementing international standards, and monitoring service quality. The importance of a systematic approach to state support of the hotel industry, as well as the need to study advanced foreign experiences and adapt them to national conditions, is also substantiated. Practical recommendations for promising areas of industry development are developed in the article.
