1 INTRODUCTION

In the global context, there's a growing emphasis on

nurturing critical thinking skills and social-emotional

development in preschoolers, integral to educational

agendas. Following Uzbekistan's independence, the

nation prioritized transitioning towards a market-

driven society, with tourism emerging as a key sector.

Tourism encompasses exploring history,

encountering diverse cultures, and embracing

national heritage, enriching experiences for

travellers. Tourism, derived from the French term

"tour" meaning travel, is recognised as an active form

of recreation. It involves individuals leaving their

permanent residence for a duration exceeding one

year, without engaging in paid work, for purposes

such as health, education, or leisure. In the context of

children, tourism serves as a vital aspect of physical

education, essential for promoting and fortifying their

overall well-being.

2 LITERATURE ANALYSIS

The legacy of Abu Ali ibn Sina, the Sultan of Eastern

medicine, underscores the significance of travel for

human well-being. His scientific studies on various

travel experiences, such as staying by lakeshores and

climbing mountains, highlight the pursuit of human

perfection and health enhancement. In contemporary

times, this legacy remains relevant, advocating for the

integration of travel experiences into holistic health

approaches.

The natural beauty of Uzbekistan, as described in

Avesta, positions it as a captivating destination yet to

be fully explored. With a diverse geographical

landscape ranging from mountains to deserts,

Uzbekistan offers ample opportunities for tourism

development. However, there is a pressing need to

modernize and expand existing tourism practices to

meet contemporary demands.

Tourism, encompassing a wide array of socio-

educational and cultural activities, holds immense

potential for economic growth and cultural exchange.

From exploring historical landmarks to engaging in

outdoor sports, tourism offers multifaceted

experiences that contribute to personal development

and environmental conservation. Nevertheless, there

is a notable disparity in the popularity of different

forms of tourism, with technical types like mountain

climbing and orienteering remaining underutilized.

In the realm of physical education, tourism serves

as a preparatory exercise for enhancing endurance,

strength, and speed. The planning and execution of

tourist activities involve meticulous attention to

detail, from selecting rest stops to ensuring safety

during overnight stays. Moreover, ongoing research

aims to refine strategies for integrating tourism into

preschool education systems, emphasising the

importance of age-appropriate educational processes

and competency development. Thus, the promotion

and enhancement of tourism hold promising

prospects for both individual well-being and national

development agendas.

3 RESULT

The promotion of educational tourism, particularly

for children and youth, is emerging as a key priority

in Uzbekistan's state tourism policy. There's a

concerted effort to organize excursions to historical

cities like Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva,

aimed at enriching visitors' cultural experiences. This

focus has not only enhanced the country's tourism

offerings but also provided valuable insights into

catering to tourists, both domestic and international

[Decree of the President of the Republic of

Uzbekistan dated August 13, 2020].

Children's health tourism stands out as an

effective tool for promoting healthy lifestyles among

individuals and society at large, crucial for nurturing

the next generation. Through children's tourism,

valuable life experiences and cultural legacies are

passed down, instilling an appreciation for national

values, cultural development, and individual

socialization [Mirzayev Murotjon Akhmadjonovich,

Aliyeva Mahbuba Toychievna].

Preschool education tourism plays a pivotal role

in promoting children's health, offering accessible

opportunities for physical activity throughout the

year. By organizing trips and excursions, children can

engage in outdoor activities, enhancing their physical

fitness and mental well-being [Usmonkhojaev T.S.,

Toirova M.T.].

Moreover, tourism in preschool educational

institutions fosters essential qualities such as

teamwork, discipline, and independence among

children. It also promotes environmental awareness,

helping children understand and appreciate the

natural world around them [Makhmudov T. About

"Avesta".].

However, it's important to note that children's

tourism is still in its nascent stages in preschool

educational institutions. Efforts are needed to

integrate tourism into educational curricula

systematically, ensuring holistic child development.

Furthermore, tourism provides unique

opportunities to teach children about values such as

honesty, loyalty, and patriotism, while also nurturing

virtues like bravery and endurance. Through guided

activities, children can learn to interact responsibly

with nature, developing a deeper understanding of

ecological balance and environmental conservation.

In conclusion, children's tourism holds immense

potential in shaping the next generation, fostering

physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional

development. By harnessing the educational and

health benefits of tourism, Uzbekistan can pave the

way for a generation of well-rounded individuals with

a deep appreciation for their heritage and

environment.

4 DISCUSSION

Tourism initiatives within preschool education

institutions play a crucial role in shaping children's

attitudes towards nature, fostering a sense of

environmental stewardship and cultivating well-

rounded individuals. By integrating tourism into early

education, children are exposed to diverse learning

experiences that promote mental development,

logical thinking, and cognitive skills.

Introducing children to nature involves a

multifaceted approach, incorporating visual aids such

as pictures and living objects, alongside outdoor

excursions to parks, avenues, and water bodies.

Engaging activities like conversations, games, poetry

recitals, and storytelling further enhance their

connection to the natural world, nurturing a love for

the environment from an early age.

The support and directives provided by our

esteemed president underscore the importance of

incorporating tourism into preschool education.

Through designated "tourism corners" and

educational sessions, children are introduced to the

cultural and health benefits of tourism, laying the

groundwork for future exploration and discovery.

Trips to local attractions, museums, historical sites,

and modern enterprises complement classroom

learning, enriching children's knowledge and

practical skills while promoting a healthy lifestyle.

In essence, tourism within preschool education

institutions serves as a gateway to holistic

development, instilling in children a sense of

curiosity, appreciation for nature, and pride in their

cultural heritage. Through these initiatives, we pave

the way for a generation of thoughtful, socially

conscious individuals equipped with the skills and

values needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.

5 CONCLUSION

In summary, the directives set forth by our esteemed

president underscore the significance of integrating

tourism into preschool education, emphasizing its

educational and health benefits for young children.

By conscientiously implementing these directives,

preschools can cultivate a culture of tourism, starting

with the establishment of dedicated tourism corners

and educational sessions. Through these initiatives,

children are introduced to the enriching experiences

of exploring local attractions, museums, and modern

enterprises, thereby laying the foundation for a

lifelong appreciation of travel and discovery.

Furthermore, the successful execution of tourism

initiatives within preschool education necessitates

careful planning and consideration of children's

individual needs and abilities. Educators play a

pivotal role in orchestrating these activities, requiring

a high level of professionalism and collaboration with

parents. Providing educators with adequate support

and resources is paramount in enhancing their

capacity to impart knowledge and foster a deeper

understanding of nature among children, thus

ensuring the continued enrichment of educational

experiences in preschool settings.
