INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS’ ASSESSMENT OF DESTINATION ATTRIBUTES A CASE OF TASHKENT

Abstract

Tashkent is one of the most attractive destinations of Uzbekistan in terms of hospitality, range of unique medieval buildings, the lifestyle of locals and traditional “bazars”. Relatively little research has been done to determine the most important aspects of being “less” recognized among the international tourists or what kinds of attributes have an impact on choosing or not choosing Uzbekistan as a travel destination.
The present study attempts to evaluate destination attributes of Uzbekistan, Tashkent from the perspective of international visitors to come up with an up-to-date reflection on international tourist assessments of Uzbekistan. Relying on studied academic papers, seven constructs including 35 items were adopted to conduct further analyses. A descriptive analysis was used to analyze the collected data.
