Tourism has emerged as a strategic driver of regional development, particularly indeveloping economies where diversification and competitiveness are policy priorities. This studyintroduces the Tourism Potential Index (TPI) as a methodological tool for evaluating andcomparing tourism potential across the districts of the Bukhara region in Uzbekistan. The indexintegrates six dimensions—cultural and natural resources, infrastructure, tourism demand,business environment, sustainability, and human capital—into a composite score.Using statistical data from 2020–2023, the study identifies clear disparities: Bukhara citydemonstrates the highest competitiveness due to its UNESCO heritage and advancedinfrastructure, while peripheral districts such as Karakul and Alat lag behind but hold nicheopportunities in eco- and desert tourism. The findings confirm that cultural heritage andinfrastructure are decisive for high scores, whereas weak human capital and limited SMEsconstrain underdeveloped districts.The TPI not only highlights spatial imbalances but also provides a practical framework forpolicymakers to design differentiated strategies: consolidating strong hubs, upgrading mediumpotential districts, and activating low-potential areas through cluster-based and sustainabilityoriented approaches. By adapting existing models of tourism competitiveness to a sub-regionalcontext, this study contributes both theoretically and practically to evidence-based tourism policyand regional development.
