International Experience in Implementing Digital Ecosystems in Tourism and Uzbekistan’s Integration into The Global Digital Space

Abstract

This paper examines international experience in implementing digital ecosystems in tourism and assesses the level of integration of Uzbekistan’s tourism sector into the global digital space. A digital ecosystem is interpreted as an integrated infrastructure that enables real-time data exchange among tourists, service providers, distributors, public authorities, and data analysts across the tourism value chain. Drawing on the experience of Spain, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates, the study identifies strategic gaps relevant to Uzbekistan and substantiates the economic importance of integration into international digital ecosystems for increasing national tourism revenues.
