Considerable attention is paid to the specifics and efficiency of using the resource potential in the development of the tourism sector and the economy as a whole in the Bukhara region.

In recent decades, countries and regions have been using the tourism potential of territories in order to increase their tourist and commercial attractiveness.
There is a concept of tourism potential as a phenomenon that qualitatively and quantitatively characterizes tourist resources and their functionality. This concept covers all spheres of socio-economic influence of the tourism industry on the life of regions and the country as a whole.
The tourism potential of an object (territory) is understood as a set of natural and man-made bodies and phenomena associated with this object (territory), as well as conditions, opportunities and means suitable for the formation of a tourist product and the implementation of appropriate tours, excursions, programs.
The tourism potential of the region is determined by the ability of the economy, its branches, enterprises and organizations to form a tourism product and meet the needs of the population of different countries in tourist services.
The tourism potential of the region is a complex system, the elements of which are:
- resource potential of the region, which is a combination of natural, climatic, cultural and historical factors of attractiveness of tourist destinations in the region;
- production potential of the region, including the resource potential and organizations that ensure its operation for tourism purposes (hotels, transport, shopping institutions and other organizations of tourism infrastructure);
- the economic potential of the region, which includes the production potential and organizations that ensure its operation and consumption of tourism products by the final consumer (tourists).
In Uzbekistan there are regions with a huge potential of tourism development and the tourism industry is developing at a rapid pace. The tourism potential of the regions is determined by the available resources in them, and the tourism resources serve as the foundation for the development of the tourism sector in the region.
Tourism is one of the priority directions of socio-economic development in the Bukhara region.

Research of the region's tourism development resources, determination of the tourism potential of individual administrative districts and scientific justification of tourism development directions will improve the accuracy and effectiveness of management decisions in the field of regional tourism development, enhance the investment
attractiveness of the region and will contribute to obtaining a multiplier effect from the
implementation of tourism activities in the region.

contribute to increasing the level of sustainable socio-economic development of the regions.
