Аннотация
Туризм не является видом первоклассной жизненной потребности, он решается в определенных границах и ограничениях развития человека и его образа жизни. Туризм формируется при определенном уровне доходов населения, уровень планирования и обеспечения его измеряется бюджетом и уровнем доходов. Туризм в Азербайджане формируется и расширяется вместе с общим экономическим развитием. Необходимы его материальная и финансовая база, государственное хозяйство и управление. Поэтому туризм является составной частью экономической системы, экономики и системы ее распределения. Наряду с тем, что туристская экономика является неотъемлемой частью общей экономической и общественной жизни, ее экономической основой являются валовой внутренний продукт, доходы бюджета и предпринимательская активность населения. Развитие туризма в Азербайджане развивалось за счет централизованных ресурсов в системе планового хозяйства и имело статус участка как объекта планирования.

INTRODUCTION
In determining tourism, its economic meaning the following characteristics can be accepted in the opening of the review:
- Tourism is the placement of people on different routes;
- tourism is always at its last resort and somewhere else represents the day;
- The traveler indicates that he is from the country where he lives permanently;
- Tourism is a temporary trip, it means returning to the previous activity after a certain period of time;
- Tourism shines and reflects its activity.
The main directions of tourism development and the structure of the economic potential of Azerbaijan are determined by the main directions of its involvement in the economic cycle, as well as the socio-demo-graphic characteristics of the consumer segments.
The approach to the model of circulation in tourism is determined by the socio-demographic and standard of living of the population and its further development. The secularity of tourism development is determined by the fact that its consumers are the entire world
population and the characteristics of diverse consumer segments.
It is no secret that tourism is one of the dynamically developing areas of the world economy. As the high rate of development has a large amount of foreign exchange earnings, and affects other sectors of the economy, the tourism industry (internationally) is expanding year by year.
Since tourism development is more a field of strategic planning and management in accordance with dynamic structural changes, its reproduction structure is a component of general economic efficiency and specific efficiency indicators. If tourism plays a decisive role in the formation of gross domestic product and the growth of state income in any country, then tourism is a more efficient sphere in this country.
The main indicators of the tourism service are observed by the intensity of the tourist flow. Of course, the current situation affects this dynamic. Thus, the occurrence of any disease in a certain country or the spread of distorted information about world competition can reduce the flow of tourists to that country. The

motive of tourism is determined by its choice. Including the financial well-being of the population, sanatoriums, resorts and health care conditions in the country, the displacement of the population, concern, cultural demand, the change of the environment in order to maintain forms the motive of tourism.
With the market economy, limited resources, development of entrepreneurship, new directions and regulatory mechanisms of tourism are emerging. Therefore, tourism is a field of business activity with the purpose of obtaining commercial profit, and it has its own business management characteristics. Global macro-level and micro-level problems of tourism development appear in this aspect.
Although there is a special approach in each aspect, in the development of tourism as a single system, inter-sectoral problems and systematic management principles should be considered.
The prospective role of tourism for the economy of Azerbaijan is possible by changing its current situation. Today, the population of Azerbaijan prefers to use the tourist services of foreign countries. As a result of the current state of the tourism infrastructure and its low level of compliance with the demand, the specific weight of the tourist product in the population consumption is at a non-existent level for poor families.
Therefore, it is necessary to look at the development of tourism as territorial interests rather than field interests. Thus, tourism, being the most effective field for integration and economic cooperation, is becoming a more priority direction due to the fertility of geographical conditions. As Azerbaijan is at the hubs of air, water and rail transport, its territory is important for one-stop and transit tourist connections.
Since the exit from Azerbaijan to Europe takes place by air, water and railway, the options of choosing an alternative transport route and choosing an economically efficient route and transport route shape the tourist countries of the republic.
The main directions of tourism development are carried out according to the main directions of economic and social development. These directions can be grouped as follows:
> Assessment of financial resources taken from and brought to the republic in the development of tourism, measurement of its special weight in economic circulation, money supply and market exchange. Of course, for a country at a high level of development, the total volume of these funds increases the exchange of money, changes in bank interest rates and the country's income from tourism.
> Since the development of tourism is a field and functional structure of economic activity, that field is also formed as a progressive field as a component and perspective of entrepreneurship development, attracting additional capital flow to the opening of new jobs, and the complex development of each region.
> Tourism and business activity affects the formation of the first production and service sphere necessary for tourism demand, the development of competitive production and infrastructure, and also the increase of people working in the field of tourism among the
population, the formation of tourism-related education, healthcare, household and transport infrastructure.
> The inclusion of tourism in the system of cultural values determines the ways of using world civilization and the efforts to enter the world tourist system about the development of the socio-economic social cultural areas of the republic.
> The development of tourism as an economic and social factor can lead to the transformation of the banking system in the republic, the rate of insurance for the insurance of non-cash foreign citizens, and the transit service sphere according to world standards.
> The development of tourism in the regions of Absheron, Guba, Khachmaz, Ganja, Zakatala and Na-khchivan in the republic creates conditions for the complex development of the internal regions of the republic, the expansion of their social infrastructure areas and the change of services according to new market-type requirements.
> In accordance with the socio-economic essence of tourism, it has led to the development of education, healthcare and other service areas, and creates conditions for the expansion of the sphere of paid services.
Alternative decision-making in the development of tourism through a targeted program determines the intensity and spectrum of attracting the necessary resources and potential. Natural growth in tourism development takes into account changes in population and ecological environment.
Natural growth exists in each republic with qualitative changes in the economy that occur along with the economic factor. Including forest, mountain and climate change is a common factor that causes any type of tourism to increase and decrease in the current year. Therefore, in the aspect of organizing tourism, personnel potential, advertising and also the public opinion of those who came to the republic as tourists play a key role.
In Azerbaijan, in 1995-2003, dynamic development trend and high growth were observed in all areas of the economy, but the growth of the product as a result of the tourism turnover lags behind the general economic growth.
The specific weight of the territory of Azerbaijan in terms of its foreign trade turnover shapes its impact on tourism potential. Today, due to the special result in the motive of tourism, business tourism and short-term tourism determine the growth of tourists for commercial purposes.
In the study of tourism, cause and effect relationships are formed based on the principles of adaptation of suitable options. Thus, the natural growth of the population, its age structure and the average monthly level of the pension, the state's one-time allowance for tourists, or free shipping form the activity of its contingents in each republic. which does not change, is 0.8%.
Natural population growth is 8.0-10 people per 1000 people in 2002-2003. This means a 2.2 times decrease compared to 1990. The potential of the population is made possible not only by the demand for tourism, but also by raising their standard of living, increasing the role of moral demand in the way of life, and also

by spreading information about the advantages of tourism in Azerbaijan among the countries of the world and their adequacy.
The richness of natural resources and its evaluation as tourism potential can be the main direction of the complex development of the regions. The natural resources of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic are its tourism base as an economic zone, and the natural economic potential of Sheki, Zakatala, Guba-Khach-maz and Absheron economic regions is a potential base for the development of urban and rural tourism.
Achieving the desired results in managed tourism includes impacts for Tourism management is improved by the site, management principles and favorable options for the reconciliation of the interests of tourism subjects. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Azerbaijan, local government bodies and tourism departments organize the management subject of tourism.
Management objects to tourist companies, tourism services process and sub-systems that serve tourism. Tourism management is possible by finding forms of mutually beneficial relations and mutual interests between its subjects and objects.
