The first scientific-practical conference “On prospects of development of tourism in Azerbaijan Republic” was held at the Center of scientific researches on problems of youth under the ministry of youth, sports and tourism.

Chief of the science and education department of the Ministry Firudin Gurbanov, speaking of the key goals of the Conference, noted that last years in Azerbaijan a great attention is paid on the internal tourism. A state Program on development of tourism has been adopted. Currently, Azerbaijan holds one of the last points in the world on the number of foreign tourists. Great damage to the tourist industry was caused by occupation by the Armenian armed forces to the unique sights of nature in Nagorny Karabakh and the adjacent regions. Many tourist resorts and homes now serve the refugees and IDPs. The major problem in this field is low level of tourist infrastructure and service personnel.

At the Conference, passed in two sections, were delivered some 40 lectures, exchanged views on issues of preparing relevant methodic recommendations in this field.
