The tourism sector is developing at an increasing pace. Having financial opportunities, the development of personal needs and the manifestation of free time, people more choose to travel in different countries of the world and all this is associated with information opportunities. It is noted that large-scale work on tourism development has been carried out in Azerbaijan recently. Karabakh was under Armenian occupation until November 10, 2020, because of this it was excluded from these processes. Armenia, which occupies 20% of Azerbaijani lands, as in all spheres of the economy, has caused serious damage to the tourism sector.
Large hotel chains have been formed in the field of accommodation and catering in the tourism sector, operators regularly stand out among tourist companies that organize control over tourist markets, and the air transport market is expanding. The article notes that the presence of hotel companies in various countries, which play a key role in the development of the tourism industry, accelerates their worldwide recognition. Factors influencing the development of tourism play a crucial role in determining the state of development of the country's tourism business.
The world labor and employment markets and their structure have a certain impact on the development of tourism or vice versa. It is estimated that there are about 325 million people in the world employed in permanent or temporary jobs in tourism and related industries. As a result of the study, it was found that the employment of the population in different countries with the multiplier effect of tourism is several times higher than with direct employment. Even in countries with multiplicative efficiency of this sphere, the employment rate of the population is 4.5-11.8% higher than with direct employment and this directly affects the creation of a large number of jobs in the tourism sector and related industries, which is due to the contribution of the tourism sector to the country's GDP, the number of tourist arrivals and the growth of tourism revenues.
