The tourism sector is characterized by a complex institutional structure involving multiple public and privatestakeholders, which requires effective coordination and governance mechanisms. In recent years, Uzbekistan hasimplemented significant reforms aimed at enhancing tourism development; however, challenges related to institutionalcoordination remain. This study examines the governance and management of institutional structures coordinating thetourism sector in Uzbekistan through a combined theoretical and empirical approach. The research employs qualitativepolicy analysis, comparative institutional analysis, and expert assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of existingcoordination mechanisms. The findings reveal that despite improvements in strategic planning and regulatory frameworks,institutional fragmentation, overlapping mandates, and limited horizontal coordination continue to constrain effectivetourism governance. Based on international best practices, the study proposes policy recommendations to strengtheninstitutional coordination, enhance inter-agency collaboration, and improve governance efficiency in the tourism sector.The results contribute to the literature on tourism governance in transitional economies and offer practical implicationsfor policymakers.
