The development of rural tourism in Azerbaijan is one of the priority and promising areas of the economy. Our country has a wide potential for the development of rural tourism. The presence of settlements distinguished by favorable natural conditions, exotic landscapes and ethnography creates ample opportunities for the development of rural tourism. The development of the tourism economy in rural areas is of extraordinary socio-economic importance. The development of this type of tourism leads to the creation of a permanent and year-round additional income source in the countryside and the creation of new workplaces in the villages. The development of rural tourism has an important role in obtaining new markets for the sale of products produced by the rural population and in developing the local service culture.
