Summary

Azerbaijan's northern regions exhibit divergent tourism growth patterns, with the Sheki-Zagatala region experiencing accelerated development driven by cultural tourism and UNESCO heritage recognition, while the Guba-Khachmaz region remains a dominant mass tourism hub. Statistical analysis of 2023–2025 data reveals these trends, comparing natural-recreational assets, historical-cultural heritage, and infrastructure across both regions. The findings underscore the importance of cultural heritage in boosting regional tourism potential, offering actionable insights for optimizing tourism management strategies.
