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.]]></p></abstract>

El turismo utiliza recursos tanto naturales como antropogénicos y brinda la oportunidad de satisfacer las necesidades recreativas de las personas en los centros turísticos. En los últimos años, los recursos de recreación y resort se han convertido en un participante en el desarrollo regional como un campo de turismo. Las instalaciones e infraestructuras turísticas creadas a partir de los recursos recreativos-resort inciden en la preservación y desarrollo de los valores naturales, culturales y espirituales de los territorios, así como aumentan el nivel de empleo de la población local. Por lo tanto, las zonas de recreación-resort se consideran un sistema de actividad crítico, en ocasiones obligatorio, para recuperar la salud perdida de las personas. El patrimonio natural, cultural y espiritual del área y su potencial son los principales recursos para la creación y desarrollo de zonas turísticas-recreativas. En un período en el que el uso de este potencial está aumentando rápidamente, se han creado varios sistemas y estructuras para mejorar la salud.]]></p></abstract>
