Fuad Naghiyev: Tourism becoming one of leading spheres of non-oil sector

As Azerbaijan has been focusing on tourism at the state level over the past years, this sphere is becoming one of the leading spheres in the non-oil sector, head of the State Tourism Agency Fuad Naghiyev said in a video message to the 4th International Scientific and Practical Conference 'Tourism and recreation in the 21st century: problems and prospects' that was held today in Baku and was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of National Leader Heydar Aliyev.

"The development policy pursued by President Ilham Aliyev and attention to the tourism sector create conditions for a more efficient and rational implementation of the tasks and goals set. The sustainable development of the tourism sector has created the need to train qualified personnel. In this sense, the contribution of educational institutions under the State Tourism Agency can be noted."
