Due to the policies enacted on the eve of independence, the tourism sector and its associated industries fell into dire straits. In response, Uzbekistan, along with Bukhara, a major tourist hub, undertook numerous efforts to navigate this challenging situation. Specifically, the dedication of national master artisans in reviving millennia- old traditions and presenting them globally is illustrated with concrete examples. The nuances of these master artisans' work, the creation of handcrafted goods, and their purchase by tourists are discussed, emphasizing their crucial role in contributing to the economy and the overall prosperity of the nation.
