Abstract

This research examines the historical development and cultural significance of tourism-related terminology that emerged during the Silk
Road era and its reflection in modern Uzbek and English. The study explores how centuries of travel, trade, and intercultural interaction
shaped a rich lexicon that persists in contemporary tourism discourse. By comparing selected terms in both languages and evaluating
their translations, the paper highlights how cultural identity and historical meaning are embedded in language. The findings underscore
the need for culturally nuanced translation strategies that enhance both tourist understanding and heritage preservation in Silk Road
regions, particularly Uzbekistan.
