Abstract. Tourism plays an important role in the international economy. It makes a significant contribution to the local and regional economy. Another important aspect of tourism is that through the development of this sector, no natural resources would be decreased, but the national economy would be developed. Attention to the field of tourism in Uzbekistan, especially the reforms carried out in the field of pilgrimage tourism, is expanding. Therefore, it is important to study and apply the methods of foreign countries in tourism. Today, Malaysia is promoting its touristic destinations worldwide to attract more tourists. This article describes the routes Malaysia offers for pilgrims, the Malaysian experience in pilgrimage tourism, and its implementation in our country.
