Issues of Development of Museums and Tourism of Andijan Region

Abstract

This article discusses the development of museums and tourism on the example of the Andijan region. The tourism industry today is one of the most dynamically developing sectors of the world economy. Historical and cultural heritage turned out to be quite a demanded resource in tourism. This has a beneficial effect on the activities of museums: the number of visitors is increasing, incomes are growing. However, this poses a threat to the historical and cultural heritage. The growth in the flow of visitors threatens the physical safety of heritage sites. On the other hand, in an effort to create comfortable conditions for visitors, museums risk losing the status of a scientific institution.
