Tourism is a fast growing industry compared to other industries because

According to tourism experts, it will become the most stable profitable
industry in the world the 21st century. Nowadays, tourism is one of the
fastest growing and most profitable industries. In recent years, tourism
has made a significant contribution to world exports and accounted for
11% of world GDP. Over the past 40 years, the number of tourist visiting
other tourism countries has incresed from 20 times to 60 times, and the
income from international tourism has reached 400 billion dollars. 1 From
this tourism will generate economic income, thousands of jobs, develop
the country’s infrastructure, stimulate cultural ties between foreign

tourists increased the inflow of foreign currencies. This, in turn, to the
creation of thousands of jobs.

The tourism industry is the most developed industry in China is the third
most visited country in the world, after France and USA. 2 China’s ancient
places, moderncities, culture, convinient geographical location, natural
beauty and cultural uniqueness attract many foreign tourists. More than
60 million tourist visit China every year. The object that most attracts
tourist in this country is the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall of
China is one of the largest and most unique architectural structures
created by human hands on our planet. In addition, Xian’s most popular
tourist products are China’s famous Victorya Peak, Hong Kong
Disneyland, Shenzhen city of Guangdon Province, Splendid China Park,
Shenzhen Lianhuash Park, Folk culture village, Reed Flute Cave and
many other attractions always full of tourist. Although the winter season
in China is very cold, many tourist look forward to the winter season.
Because every year in the chinese city of Harbin, an ice town is opened
and an ice and snow festival is held in China. Teams from14 countries
will creates culptures of the most interesting pleases in the city of the
Great Silk Raod. The festival in Harbin ia always held because of the cold
temperature, and it is this cold temperature that allows the master to
create large scale expositions. Presently Harbin has become one of the
leading sectors of the winter tourism economy and brings great benefits
to the China economy. Thousands of tourist visit this festival and post
their photos on social networks.3 One of the most famous pleces in China
is Hong Kong Disneyland. This Disneyland is the largest park among
Disney. Many foreign tourist definetely come here during their visit to
China. The park can receive 34.000 visitors per day. The park attracted
5.2 millions visitors in its frist year. Today, the park has received more
that 25 mollion visitors since its opening. This Disneyland generated an
annual net profit of HK$109 million (US$13.97 million) in its frist year

alone. The area of the park covers an area of 27.5 hecters and annually
receive 6 million to 7 million visitors.4
In general, not only travel tourism, but also educational tourism and film
tourism are well developed in China. Moreover tourists come to eat
chinese food, explore the culture, learn the chinese lenguage, get
education, see the starts of movies and visit for modern medicine and
ancient chinese medicine in China. Especially, since the education system
in China is very good and modern, it attracts many foreign students to
study in China’s prestigious higher education system. There were 22
chinese universities in the list of the 200 best universities in the world in
2020.5 The education system is also beneficial for the chinese economy.
Because international students are a source of foreign currency income.
In addation, the demand for student housing , retail service and services
service will increase, and of course, jobs will also increase. 6 But the
education system has negative aspects. For example, China instills its
traditional ideas into the education systemand provides education for its
own interests. Because of this, some students end up serving chinese
interests.
Another sector that brings the greatest benefits to the economy is Medical
Tourism. This industry is considered one of the leading industries in
China, and with its experenced doctors and modern medicine, its attracts
many foreign tourists to visit to restore their health. Futhemore, amcient
medicine is also very popular in China. This field has been developed
since ancient times and is still very developed. Many foreign tourists turn
to chinese medicine for health care and treatment. Because it is natural
and harmless. For example, medicinal substanced derived from animals,
animals and minerals are used. This is much better than a drug that is

harmful to the human body in many ways. Let’s take look at the benefits
of medical tourism. Frist rate modern and qualified medical service
requires a lot of money. This means that the state budget receives a lot of
foreign corrency (mostly USA dollors). Every tourist uses hotel services,
transportation services, local retail services, if they comes for treatment,
they uses pharmacy and hospital services. Many tourist who come for
medical tourism travel this country, visit its ancient and famous places.
This also enriches the state budget. Because entry to tourism attractions is
not free. There are also downsides to traveling in China. We know that
China is the second largest producer in the world after the USA. There
are many factories enterprises and firms in China that have a great impact
on the environment. Because the air is polluted a lot as result of the
release of a lot of waste, harmful smoce and gases from enterprises with
very high production indicators. This air is very harmful to people and
can cause many diseases. Naturally, people who are not indifferent to
their health and are prone to illness do not travel to China. In addition,
China has a large population, 1 milliard. This makes chinese cities
crowded and noisy. Due to the large population there is naturally a lot of
traffic. This leads to big damage i.e traffic jam. Transport is also very
noisy and they emit harmful fumes and gases. This is the reason why
peace loving tourists do not come to this city. Because excessive noise
causes a person to become stressed and nevrous. Another problem is that
summer season is very hot. Because it is the presence of seas and oceans.
Because the air is hot the water evaporates and the air temperature rises
even more. For this reason, the flow of tourist decreases in some chinese
cities in the summer season. A decrease in the flow of tourist affects the
economy and the state budget.
The 2020 pandemic has had a major impact on chenese and global
tourism. The enormous and profound impact on the pandemic has caused
economic, social and natural disastesr. As a result, in 2020 many tourist
destinations were forced by the chinese goverments to take isolation
meansure and stop tourism activities. Also, such evolutionary steps were
taken to prevent the spread of the disease during the diffucult situation in
tourism during the pandemic. This impact of COVID19 has resulted in
lower income, fewer jobs, and damage to the economy. In addition due to
the pandemic, the borders were closed, many flights were canceled. This
will have a significant impact on the production and export volume of the
industry. Not only the people’s Republic of China but the entire world
economy suffered from this, and the unemployment rate increase sharply.
In may 2020, the number of travelers decreased by 98 % due to the
decrease in travel tourism due to the pandemic. Tousism decreased by
45% and external tourism decreased by 69.4%. The tourism industry
accounted for 11% of China’s GDP in 2019 and this figure decreased to
4.5% in 2020.7
Today, relations between our country Uzbekistan and China are
strengthening. Great cooperation is being carried out in the field of
economy, politics, education, medicine, production, tourism and energy.
Good reforms are also being implemented in the field of tourism. Tourists
who go for a trip, students who go for education, people who go to restore
their health, people who go for business today, getting visas and going to
China is much better easier and faster than before. Educational tourism
between Uzbekistan and China is developing well, China is receiving
many uzbek students. Students gain knowledge and experience. About
2000 students are sent to study from Uzbekistan every year. 8 Besides,
branches of prestigious chinese universities are opening in Uzbekistan in
cooperation with China, and qualified proffessors from China are
teaching at those universities.

So, why is tourism not developing in Uzbekistan in a chinese way?
Uzbekistan has a great historical and cultural heritage more than 7300
ancient and architectural monuments. More than 200 historical
monuments in our country are included in the list of cultural heritage of
UNESCO. Why we can not incraduce them to the world when we have so
many historical and rich cultural heritages? China alone receives 60
million tourust a year. In our country, 1.800 tourists visited this indicator.
What the reason for this? We do not have enough hotels all of them are
almost equal to the price of hotels in European countries, the prices in
increasing significantly every year. As for Paris, the number of hotels in
the city and its surroundings is 4260. in our country, this indicator is 4
and a half times lower than the national indiucatot. Despite the fact that
our country has a plece in the world tourist market, the level of creating
comfortable conditions for tourist improving service, increasing the
attractiveness of tourist attractions and strengthening advertising is low.
Through the unique nature of our country, beautiful resort, new tourists
destinations can be opened. Attracting world brands in this field, we need
to pay special attention to the development of pilgrimage tourism,
ecological, educational, ethnographic, gastronomic tourism and other
banches of this field.9
