Geographical location and boundaries of Surkhandarya region. The Surkhandarya region, located in the southernmost part of our country, was established on March 6, 1941. Its area is 20.1 thousand km2, which is equal to 4.5 % of the total territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan. According to the data of 2022, 2719.1 thousand people or 7.72% of the population of the republic live in the region. It can be seen that the demographic potential of the region is 1.6 times higher than its area.
Surkhandarya region is bordered by Afghanistan to the south, Republic of Tajikistan to the east, Turkmenistan to the west, and Kashkadarya region to the north and northeast. 70 percent of its area is occupied by mountain and submountain areas, these areas have many different healing springs, weather for recreation, scenic areas, as well as opportunities for the development of mountain tourism and ecotourism, as well as religious tourism [3]. Such a geographical location of the region provides a favorable opportunity for the development of recreation and tourism. In particular, the passage of transport routes leading to the ports of South Asian countries and the Indian Ocean through the city of Termiz, which is considered the regional center, serves as an important factor in the organization and development of tourism.
In the decision of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated January 5, 2019 "On additional measures related to the rapid development of recreational
activities and tourism in the Republic of Uzbekistan", in the further development of this relevant field, "Development of the tourism market, organization of services at the level of international standards and religious, cultural, increasing the interest of world tourists in historical places of interest, strengthening advertising" is given special attention.
Surkhandarya region is distinguished by its agro-industrial complex, in particular, cotton and grain cultivation, vegetable growing, and animal husbandry. Mining (polymetallic ores, coal, oil, salt), construction and pharmaceutical industries are also developing here. The region series has its own unique features. In particular, it is located in the southernmost, most mountainous, hottest region of our republic; the region has the lowest level of urbanization and industrialization, and one of the regions with the highest demographic development, i.e. natural population increase. Administratively, Surkhandarya region consists of 13 rural districts, 8 cities and 114 towns. Each village district has an average area of 1.44 km2.
Nowadays, a large number of healing places, pilgrimages and historical monuments have been built in the territory of the region. The edge is the edge also healing in the regions springs and sanatoriums there is Initial in years this to regions very big attention being directed and people come and have fun for everyone conditions is being created. Almost all regions is being cultured. Next in years oasis history, monuments has been interest more and more over, foreign archaeologist scientists attention to himself pulling is coming In the province archaeological excavations take did not go memorials still a lot.
Surkhandarya is located in the southernmost part of Uzbekistan, on the right bank of Amudarya, at the southern foothills of Hisar mountain. Within the framework of the Republic of Uzbekistan, it borders with the Kashkadarya region in the north, and on a geopolitical scale with Turkmenistan in the west, Tajikistan in the east, and Afghanistan in the south. In our country, only Tashkent and Surkhondarya regions are adjacent to 3 countries, but such a political geographical location, geopolitical situation acquires a special feature for Surkhondarya region.
Surkhandarya region is rich in pharmaceutical resources, 35-40% of the republic's medicinal plants are located here. At this point, the recreational and touristic potential of the region should be highlighted (Omonkhona, Uchkizil, Khojaikon, Vakhshimor, etc.). Archaeological findings of the region, historical monuments of At-Termizi homeland, remains of early urbanization, karst caves, springs and springs, unique natural landscape, places of pilgrimage and shrines serve as the basis for the development of international and local, religious and ecotourism. In this regard, the geological museum established in the city of Termiz is also of great importance.
Thus, the economic and political geographic location of Surkhandarya region is not favorable for its socio-economic development, and the potential of natural resources can be positively assessed.
It has great potential for the future of all areas of tourism. Foreign tourists coming to our region today are our oasis Uzbek living with ancient monuments and holy places interest in getting to know our style, national customs and traditions they say.
include such activities as tourism, physical education, sports, artistic and technical creativity.

Some types of recreational activities are related to the labor process and are of practical importance.

We imagine recreational geography as the science of volunteering, meaningful spending of free time and recreation. Usually, the organization of a person's free time is a more complicated process than the organization of working hours or daily scheduled activities. Because, while working or working, a person performs a task related to him, that is, he clearly imagines a position or task. Because in order to work in this or that profession, a person learns something for a long time, acquires qualifications or skills. In a word, they specialize in a profession.
It is known that restoration of human health is rehabilitation in order to do this, he uses various means of health. In particular, pharmacological, therapeutic, bolneological means are very useful. Some sanatoriums are characterized by mud or healing water, some by salt or sun baths, some by clean air or special treatment features.
From ancient times, people knew about such healing places and tried to use them appropriately. For example, our grandfather Amir Temur, as the head of the state, a general and at the same time a philanthropic person, deployed his troops and poor soldiers in the villages around Nurota or Boysun. The main purpose of this was not only clean air, but also healing waters, sweet fruits and herbs of these regions. These traditions were later continued through other generations of Timurids.
