Tourism is defined as "travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes". Tourism is commonly associated with international travel as well as refers to travel to another place within the same country [1].
In the Republic of Uzbekistan, the tourism sector plays a key role in diversifying the national economy, securing employment, preserving cultural heritage and attracting investment. Considering the practice of developed countries, tourism is one of the key components of the country's economic development.
In particular, according to the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), France is the country with the highest level of tourism. There are 37 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in this country, accounting for about 10 percent of the country's GDP. More than 70 million tourists visit the United States annually, and in the industrial states, tourism is a major source of income for the country's budget. At the same time, by 2025, the government plans to raise the budget to $ 2.5 trillion. There are many things that we may learn from Spain. There are UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 13 cities. Obviously, when the postindustrial societies are at the forefront of economic stability, rational use of such capacities, and resources which is beneficial to the country. The countries such as France, China, USA, Malaysia, Spain, have great experiences in the field of tourism [2].
The positive effects of tourism on a country's economy include the growth and development of various industries directly linked with a healthy tourism industry, such as transportation, accommodation, wildlife, arts and entertainment. It brings about the creation of new jobs and revenue generated from foreign exchange, investments and payments of goods and services provided. Though improvements in the standard of living of locals in heavily visited tourist destinations is usually little or non-existent, inflation of the prices of basic commodities, due to visiting tourists, is a constant feature of these areas.
Sources of international law are established by states in the process of law-making norms for the implementation of agreed decisions, forms of existence of international legal norms. Traditionally, over the centuries, two sources of international law have been applied - an international treaty and international custom.
Meanwhile, the diplomatic practice of states, international conferences, the functioning of international intergovernmental organizations indicate the birth of new forms of implementation of
international law in the form of acts of international conferences and meetings and acts of international organizations.
When considering the question of the sources of international law, Art. 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, according to which the International Court of Justice, when deciding on disputes referred to it, relies on the following sources of law:
international conventions establishing the rules recognized by states;
international custom as an of universal practice recognized in. as a legal norm;
General principles of law recognized by nations;
court decisions and the doctrines of the most qualified specialists in public law of various nations as an aid to the definition of legal norms.
The sources of the institute of international tourist law are the results of the process of standard-setting (rule-making) in the form of an international treaty and international custom. For example, the Convention on Customs Relief for Tourists, adopted at the UN diplomatic conference, and its additional protocol on customs relief for tourists concerning the import of tourist information documents and materials of 1954, as well as the Customs Convention on Temporary Import private road vehicles determine the mechanism of legal regulation of national tourism [3].
One of the main reasons for the double increase of foreign tourists in our country by 2018 is the visa regime, the rules of stay in Uzbekistan and the simplification of entrepreneurial activity, the development of infrastructure in tourism and the promotion of tourism potential.

Foreign investors and enterprises with foreign investments have the right to conclude employment contracts with citizens of any foreign state and persons without citizenship permanently residing outside the Republic of Uzbekistan in order to carry out the investment activity in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Such persons have the right to enter and stay in the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan, having received the relevant multiple-entry visas throughout the period of their employment.
