In this article, the linguistic features, formation mechanisms, and communicative functions of new lexical units that have emerged in English and Uzbek as a result of the development of digital tourism are analyzed. The socio-technological factors that have led to the appearance of terms such as e-visa, e-passport, and virtual tour are examined. Furthermore, the study provides a scholarly explanation of how the terminological system of tourism discourse has expanded during the process of digital transformation and elucidates the role of neologisms in international communication, marketing, and the simplification of services.
