Despite the high concentration of heritage assets in Bukhara, the effective diversification of tourism services at these sites remains underdeveloped, limiting both economic output and tourist engagement. There is a lack of practical frameworks for integrating various tourism service models within heritage settings, especially those aligned with global trends and supported by regulatory systems.

The findings reveal that Bukhara holds 10.09% of Uzbekistan’s heritage sites, yet diversification remains narrow. The study identifies major directions for diversification, such as digitalization, integration of complex services, new market entry, and hybrid models. A conceptual model developed by the author outlines a strategic framework incorporating legislative support, managerial structure, market conditions, and resource capabilities, reflecting both global and local best practices. This research provides practical recommendations for policymakers and tourism stakeholders to optimize heritage-based tourism through service diversification. The proposed model can serve as a scalable blueprint for other regions with similar historical and tourism potential, contributing to both cultural preservation and economic growth.
