Tourism is one of the rapidly developing fields in our modern times since it has mechanisms to influence nature and its resources. Tourism utilizes both natural and anthropogenic resources and provides the opportunity to satisfy the recreational needs of people in tourist resorts. In recent years, recreation and resort resources have become a participant in regional development. Tourist facilities and infrastructure created on the basis of recreation-resort resources have an impact on the preservation and development of natural, cultural and spiritual values of the territories, as well as increase the level of employment of the local population. Therefore, recreation-resort areas are considered a critical activity system, sometimes mandatory, to recover people's lost health. The natural, cultural and spiritual heritage of the area and its potential are the main resources for the creation and development of tourist-recreation zones. In a period when the use of this potential is rapidly increasing, various systems and structures have been created to improve health. Considering this, the aim of this paper is to analyze the regionalization of tourist-recreational areas of Azerbaijan and the possibilities of using them, taking Gusar tourist-recreational area as a case study.

Keywords : Tourism in Azerbaijan; Resort-recreation zones; Natural and anthropogenic resources; SWOT analysis.
