Туризм признан одним из основных секторов экономики во всем мире, поскольку он не только обеспечивает занятость местного населения, но и приводит к притоку иностранной валюты и увеличению спроса на местную продукцию и услуги. В Азербайджане проводится масштабная работа по развитию данной отрасли. Малые и средние туристические предприятия, включающие гостиницы, рестораны, туристические агентства и др., работающие в основном в регионах, вносят весомый вклад в развитие туристического сектора в Азербайджане. Эти предприятия оказывают положительное влияние на местную экономику, создают новые рабочие места, а также укрепляют позиции страны на международном туристическом рынке, пропагандируя культурное наследие и природную красоту Азербайджана. Участие государства в развитии малого и среднего туристического бизнеса имеет решающее значение для процветания и поддержания конкурентоспособности этой отрасли. Благоприятная среда, созданная государством для туристической сферы, и оказываемая им поддержка создают условия для реализации предпринимателями инновационных идей, укрепления их позиций на рынке и вывода продукции на мировой рынок. Целью данной статьи является рассмотрение различных направлений повышения роли государства в развитии малого и среднего туристического предпринимательства в Азербайджане.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The tourism industry of Azerbaijan has developed significantly in recent years and currently plays an important role in the country's economy. Tourism is recognized as one of the main economic sectors worldwide, as this sector not only provides employment for the local population but also leads to the inflow of foreign currency and an increase in demand for local products and services. Important work is being done in Azerbaijan to develop this sector. Small and medium tourism enterprises play an important role in the development of the tourism sector in Azerbaijan. Small and medium enterprises operating in this sector include hotels, restaurants, travel agencies and other service industries operating mainly in the regions. These enterprises have a positive impact on the local economy, create new jobs, and strengthen the country's position in the international tourism market by promoting the cultural heritage and natural beauty of Azerbaijan. State participation in the development of small and medium tourism businesses is crucial for the development and competitiveness of this industry. The favorable environment created by the state for the tourism sector and the support it provides create conditions for entrepreneurs to implement their innovative ideas, strengthen their positions in the market and bring their products to the world market. The purpose of this article is to consider various directions for increasing the role of the state in the development of small and medium-sized tourism entrepreneurship in Azerbaijan.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>малый и средний бизнес</kwd><kwd>роль государства</kwd><kwd>развитие промышленности</kwd><kwd>туристический рынок</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>small and medium business</kwd><kwd>role of the state</kwd><kwd>industrial development</kwd><kwd>tourism market</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Zhu W., Liu Y.
