During the years of independence, economic reforms in Azerbaijan are aimed at the development of regions.

New enterprises and services, social and cultural facilities and a transport and communication network are created at the level of modern requirements along with the restoration of existing economic facilities. 

Preserving the land-plant ecological balance, protecting the potential of the region’s natural landscapes, using the potential of constantly expanding national parks are important tasks. Their role is also great in the development of tourism.
