 TOURISM POLICY OF AZERBAIJAN


Located at the crossroads of East and West, Azerbaijan is a major historical site of the Great Silk Road and a country that has been open to travelers and traders from all over the world for centuries. Caravans loaded with silk,  sweets, gold, and pearls passed through Europe and the Orient. 

The famous English traveler and merchant Anthony Jackson (16th century), the Russian traveler Athanasius Nikitin (15th century), who traveled "3 seas", the famous 19th century writer-traveler Alexander Dumas and others. Prominent personalities visited Azerbaijan.

Not surprisingly, Azerbaijan's rich history, cultural and natural heritage attracts tourists from many parts of the world. The warm Caspian Sea, mild climate and untouched nature are the basis of beach, active and hunting tourism.

The development of tourism is inevitable in any country with beautiful nature and natural resources, such as Azerbaijan. The country is rich in attractions and high-end resorts that do not lag behind the world's resorts. Recently, magnificent hotels are being built around the country: the Shahdag Ski Center, which has six hotels in Gusar; Second ski resort in Gabala; Beautiful Guba Palace hotel in Guba, etc.

Azerbaijan is an amazing country. Everything here -  nature and culture, history and architecture, customs and traditions are unusual. In Nakhchivan, Kalbajar, Lankaran and Babadag, hot water comes out of the ground, there is a fire temple Ateshgah in Surakhani, and there are a number of other sights.

Everyone who wants to restore and strengthen their health applies to many health centers in Azerbaijan. Due to the unusual climate of the southern region, there are numerous health centers in Lankaran and surrounding areas. The world-famous Naftalan resort has its own unique biological treatment methods. Naftalan is the source of a special type of oil field with healing powers, which has no analogues in the world. All these factors are the impetus for the emergence and development of medical tourism in Azerbaijan.

Unique architecture, primitive culture, a variety of national cuisine attracts tourists from all over the world.

Mugam, which is considered a traditional music genre of the Azerbaijani people, has been included in the UNESCO list of non-cultural heritage and created a new tourist trend, mugam tourism tours.

In summer, ecological tours -  walks in nature reserves and hunting routes are very popular in Azerbaijan. They can be easily combined with ethnographic tours. The trip to Lahija, which embodies the traditions of medieval coppersmithing in Khinalig, Ismayilli, the ancient village of Guba, is also very interesting.

Tourists in the country's capital Baku want to visit the Old City, which is an absolute historical and architectural reserve -  the Palace of Shirvanshahs and the Maiden's Tower, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Azerbaijan has already become a tourist center in the region. Every year, the country hosts a major nationwide exhibition - "Tourism and Travel" AITF, which brings together hundreds of people from around the world.

In 2018, the State Tourism Agency was established on the basis of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The State Tourism Agency acts as the central executive body implementing state policy and regulation in the field of tourism.

The most popular hotel chains located in the capital of Azerbaijan are: Four Seasons Hotel Baku, Hyatt Regency, JW Marriott Absheron Baku Hotel, Grand Hotel Europe, Fairmont Baku, Intercontinental, Pullman Baku, Hilton Baku.

There are hotels, resorts, entertainment and sports centers in the provinces of Azerbaijan, including Shahdag Mountain Resort, Qafqaz Riverside, Shamakhi Palace Sharadil, Chinar Hotel Naftalan, Rixos Guba Azerbaijan, Marxal Resort, Galaalti. , Duzdag Hotel in Nakhchivan.  In addition, Shahdag and Tufandag winter-summer tourist complexes, Agbulag Ski Center in Nakhchivan, about 50 Olympic sports complexes and facilities with important infrastructure are at the disposal of tourists throughout the year.

Currently, a strategy for the development of tourism in the liberated areas is being developed. In the near future, Karabakh and East Zangazur will be presented to the world as a new tourist destination and will become the main tourist center of Azerbaijan.
