"International competitions and events held in Azerbaijan increase the interest in our country. In particular, I want to note the Formula One race. The audience of this competition on a global scale is 500 million people, who saw the beauty of Baku. After participating in these competitions, athletes, members of delegations, guests share their impressions with their friends. Therefore, the flow of tourists will be even greater, we must be ready.
