Prospects for the development of beekeeping tourism in the regions based on foreign experience

Abstract

The article analyzes the European experience of developing beekeeping tourism (api-tourism) and
scientifically substantiates its prospects for implementation in Uzbekistan. Based on the examples of Italy, Slovenia,
Germany, Austria, and France, the study highlights the economic, ecological, and social advantages of api-tourism.
The integration of beekeeping farms, honey museums, apitherapy centers, tasting programs, and educational
projects into sustainable rural tourism in Europe is examined. For Uzbekistan, this model provides opportunities to
create new jobs in rural areas, enhance environmental awareness, promote “green economy” principles, and develop
the national concept of “Api-Tourism Uzbekistan.”
