This article examines the national-cultural specificity of lexical units that constitute the conceptual-associative field of the concept “Tourism” in the Uzbek and English languages. Adopting a cognitive-linguistic and comparative-associative approach, the study demonstrates that the internal structure of the concept, although sharing a common semantic core in both languages, is shaped by distinct historical, social and cultural experiences of the two linguo-cultural communities. The findings show that in the Uzbek linguistic consciousness the concept “Tourism” is organised around a value-oriented, heritage-centred model, whereas in the English linguistic consciousness it is organised around a process- and experience-oriented model.
