This study empirically examines the determinants of tourist satisfaction and their impact on length of stay in Uzbekistan. The purpose is to analyze how service quality, destination image, cultural experience, and infrastructure influence tourist satisfaction and subsequently affect the duration of stay. A quantitative research design was employed using a structured questionnaire administered to 320 international tourists. Data were analyzed using reliability tests, correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal that cultural experience and service quality significantly influence tourist satisfaction, while satisfaction strongly predicts length of stay. Infrastructure and destination image also show positive but moderate effects. The study is limited by its cross-sectional design and convenience sampling. Practical implications suggest improving service standards, enhancing cultural offerings, and investing in infrastructure to extend tourist stays. Social implications highlight the importance of sustainable tourism and cultural preservation. This study contributes original empirical evidence from Uzbekistan, an under-researched destination.
