Abstract

Place branding as an important marketing tool in the tourism industry has become a subject of growing
interest among researchers and practitioners. This paper analyzes the role of branding as a key element of the
marketing strategy for promoting tourist destinations. Using the example of Samarkand, it is shown how effective
positioning of a region through cultural heritage, visual elements and digital platforms helps to form a unique image
and attract tourists. The study revealed the importance of integrating historical and cultural factors, verbal and visual
aspects of the brand, as well as digital technologies in the process of creating a successful place brand. As a result of
the analysis, recommendations were proposed to improve tourism branding and increase the competitiveness of the
region in the global market
