December 13, Fineko/abc.az. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev underlined the importance of Formula 1 holding in the center of Baku for attracting tourists.

He stated that the flow of tourists to Azerbaijan continues.

"The flow of tourists grew by 22% in 2016, by 20% in 2017, and for the first 11 months of 2018 by more than 6%. Growth of the tourist flow has decreased slightly compared to the last few years, but we should know that we have a base and that it will be more difficult to ensure a high rise of the flow every year. But serious work is underway in this direction," the head of state emphasized.
