Abstract

The tourism industry in Azerbaijan is currently in the process of development. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, this area of the country's national economy has faced serious problems. The current situation in the industry urgently requires an assessment approach to the current state of tourism in the country in terms of determining further development prospects. The proposed article examines the development of tourism in Azerbaijan for the period from 2006 to 2020, assesses the main indicators of tourism development in Azerbaijan, and examines the impact of the pandemic on them. In addition, the article discusses the prospects for the development of tourism in the post-pandemic period.
