Abstract
This article examines the stakeholder cooperation models and institutional mechanisms necessary for the effective development of sports tourism in Uzbekistan's regions. Using the Quadruple Helix framework — integrating government, business, academia, and civil society — the study proposes a regional governance model that addresses the coordination failures currently limiting sports tourism growth. Product life cycle analysis is applied to map the developmental stage of key regional sports tourism offerings, and a differentiated strategy is proposed for each stage. Statistical evidence drawn from national tourism data and international benchmarks demonstrates both the scale of the current performance gap and the magnitude of the opportunity available. The article concludes with a financial feasibility assessment and a prioritized implementation roadmap.
