Hospitality, which has different meanings in the language of different peoples, means “home for travelers” in almost all languages. Hospitality is the cultural activity of the people, as well as a spiritual treasure that preserves traditions from different eras. The introduction of the custom of hospitality in each country, which has its own peculiarities, is an important indicator of attention to people. Hospitality, directly reflecting both the way of life of the people and their material and spiritual culture, has become an important factor accelerating the development of tourism in the modern world. This tradition serves not only the friendship of individuals, but also the friendly and coexistence of nations and peoples within the framework of this tradition. The conceptual basis of humanistic values is a reflection of these qualities in the execution of different traditions. The study of the norms and rules regarding food in the practice of traditional hospitality of the peoples of the world can be noted as a necessary factor for researchers working in both ethnology and ethnography. Although the tradition of hospitality in Azerbaijan is universal, it varies from region to region. This is due to the historical development of the nation, ethnic diversity and coexistence of different peoples in the country. The emergence of diversity in traditions has ensured the innovative development of the most productive custom of hospitality in society.}, number={1}, publisher={Süleyman Fidan}
