It was underlined in the speeches that about 20 sanatoriums, resorts and hotels are operating in the city of Naftalan. Seeking treatment, thousands of people visit Naftalan city every year. The number of people expressing interest in Naftalan from the CIS, near and far areas is growing year after year. This allows for the development of joint ideas for tourism enterprises, as well as the establishment of various interregional tourism routes. Health centres in the city of Naftalan are of significant importance not only in the development of tourism, but also in the expansion of the activities of numerous SMBs operating in other sectors, particularly in public catering and services, in the overall economic development of the city, as well as in stimulating employment.
