00:00Nous venons régulièrement des festivals, des festivals, des festivals, des concerts et des événements publics.
00:05Donc l'Old City est déjà un endroit vibrant pour les habitants et les visites.
00:11Formula 1, par exemple, a créé quelque chose d'unique.
00:17Cars, cameras, action.
00:19Pour l'année dernière 10 ans, Baku a transformé en un racetrack
00:22pour l'argué la plus populaire de la compétition du monde.
00:25Et l'Old City est dans la distance de la circuit.
00:30Vous entendez le son de la voiture de la voiture.
00:32Et un peu de mètre, vous entrez des streets qui ont existé depuis des années.
00:40C'est un dialogue unique entre l'antiquité et le monde du monde.
00:45Et très peu de destination de Formula 1 peut offrir cette expérience.
00:51C'est la conférence de l'Université de l'Université d'Ottawa.
01:00C'est le numéro la 10th anniversité de l'Université d'Ottawa, et de la journée de l'Université d
01:04'Ottawa,
01:04Le event retrait internationales fanes et touristes à la capitale,
01:08et leur spending expands à l'hospitalité, retail, et touristes.
01:12Pour la plupart des entreprises, la race weekend est assez différente de la fin de l'année restée.
01:24Si nous pouvons discuter d'un tourisme perspective, en 2025, en septembre, nous avons rencontré près de 230 000 visiteurs.
01:36Out of that, there were 90 000 spectateurs of Formula 1 in that one week in 2025,
01:43and total tourist bills were summed up nearly 300 million manat.
01:47Hospitality is one of the sectors to feel the effects of Formula 1.
01:51Talking with the direct job creation, in 2025, 2 000 people were involved in the building procedure of the circuit,
01:58and in the race week, we had 1 500 staff members, nearly 2 000 volunteers and 1 400 marshals,
02:07which were directly involved on that day.
02:11Demand starts well before the cars take to the track,
02:14and for some businesses, it means fully booked rooms and a greater number of international clientele.
02:20People book a year in advance, and then later comes the staff, the workers,
02:26then comes the actual fans, 3 weeks out, 2 weeks out.
02:30This year in particular, we have some last-minute bookers as well.
02:33Visually, you can see the excitement and the vibe, the ambiance, and the city changes.
02:39We're always proud to say Baku is clean, Baku is safe, Baku is green,
02:44and when you add this kind of ambiance and energy, Baku becomes irresistible.
02:50The boulevard is home to the fans, and it is one of the busiest areas over the course of the
02:56weekend,
02:56and business is booming.
02:58A Grand Prix is not simply just about watching the race anymore for many people.
03:04It's about being part of that F1 experience,
03:07and people here certainly look like they're enjoying every second.
03:21This is our first time on the Fun Zone, actually, so, yeah, it's really great.
03:26It was cool to see the cars.
03:27The experience of just being here, the people, the food,
03:31and everything that goes on, the track, the entertainment, the drivers,
03:36it's just an amazing experience, and to be here is such a privilege.
03:40Since I was a kid, I was watching Formula One on the TV,
03:43and I thought, like, wow, Formula One must be insane.
03:47And then came to Baku, and I was like, oh my God, it came to Baku!
03:55For this edition of F1, every effort was made by Baku City Circuit organizers
04:00to ensure the fans and competitors were catered for.
04:06Each year, more than 1,000 people are involved in event operations
04:10and delivering the paddock and also temporary grandstands they are building
04:14around the track, and in the last three years,
04:16we can see four new grandstands built,
04:20and now the capacity of the grandstands is 21,000.
04:25And each year, we can see more and more tourists coming to Baku,
04:29and I would say it is more than the race for Azerbaijan.
04:32It is a very good platform for the tourism,
04:35for human capital, and the promotion of the country.
04:41The 10th edition of the Grand Prix in Azerbaijan
04:43attracted thousands of fans and tourists,
04:45but as a permanent fixture in the racing calendar,
04:48one can assume that preparations for the 11th edition
04:51will be well underway soon.
04:53The 10th edition of the Grand Prix in Azerbaijan
