The growth rate of the tourism sector in Azerbaijan maximally leads to an increase in the economy, at the same time affects the socio-economic situation in the country. To a greater extent, populations choose to travel in different countries and all this is associated with the possession of their information capabilities. The article notes that according to the Decree of the President of Azerbaijan on the new division of the “Karabakh” and “East Zangezur” economic regions, the economic region has not yet been expelled from the Armenian separatists, because of this, these zones were excluded from the number of regions for the development of tourist processes. It can be noted that the development of many tourist destinations in the country is just beginning, since the overall strategy for the development of this industry in Azerbaijan is at the stage of its new formation. In the future, the country’s leadership is focused on the formation of a competitive tourism industry and the development of tourist infrastructure. At the same time, the listed factors (direct or indirect) affecting the development of tourism play a decisive role in determining state strategic programs in the development of the country’s tourism business.

It is noted that employment in different countries depends on the legislation adopted in the country and its compliance. World labor and employment markets, the structure of world labor markets have a certain impact on the development of tourism, or vice versa-the development of tourism has a certain impact on the formation of the structure of these markets. It is estimated that there are more than 300 million people in the world employed in permanent or temporary jobs in tourism and related industries. The level of employment in tourism and related industries has a relatively large impact on the employment market than in other sectors (finance, healthcare, banks, etc.). The tourism market allows people to work in more jobs than the market of the above-listed industries. It will be possible to fully use the tourist opportunities of Karabakh only if several main factors are taken into account, such as: ensuring the safety of the population independent of their nation on the territory; clearing mined fields; gradual return of the population; creation of all necessary infrastructures in these areas. Even in countries with a multiplicative efficiency of the tourism sector, the employment rate is about 12% higher than with direct employment. The highest level of employment directly affects the creation of new jobs in the tourism sector and related industries. And this indicator is determined by the contribution of the tourism sector to the country’s GDP, the number of tourist arrivals and the growth of tourism revenues.

The goal is to clarify–the impact of the tourism sector on the level of employment of the population, as well as the impact of the level of employment in the creation of new jobs in this sector.

Methodology–the article uses the economic and statistical method and the method of comparative analysis to clarify the impact of the tourism sector on the employment of the population.

The conclusion of the study–is that the highest level of employment directly affects the creation of new jobs in the tourism sector and related industries, and this indicator is determined by the contribution of tourism to the GDP of the countries of the world
