Baku, Azerbaijan, May 3
By Anvar Mammadov - Trend:
Creation of a state tourism registry in Azerbaijan may be delayed, a source in the country’s tourism market told Trend May 3.
The source noted that this is due to the division of Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism into two structures - the Ministry of Culture and the State Tourism Agency.
“The state tourism registry was nearly completed, but the division of the ministry into two structures will delay this process,” the source said. “The issues related to tourism sector will be supervised by the State Tourism Agency, and its structure is in the process of formation. This process will take some time.”
The state tourism registry is being created upon the presidential order dated Sept. 1, 2016 with the aim of developing tourism in Azerbaijan and expanding the possibilities of using modern information and communication technologies in this field.
Companies and tourism entities will be able to enter information about themselves in the registry. The companies included in the registry will also be involved in all international events, programs to improve education and services.
