Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct. 10
By Matanat Nasibova – Trend:
Along with the study of the domestic tourism market, the Azerbaijan State Tourism Agency also works in the foreign markets with foreign TV channels, which are filming in Azerbaijan, spokesman for the agency Kenan Guluzade told Trend on Oct. 10.
"One of the French TV channels will start to film in Azerbaijan soon and we will consult the film crew on tourism issues," Guluzade said.
He added that the Russian TV show "Heads & Tails", which is dedicated to Azerbaijan, will also be filmed in Baku.
"The TV show is planned to be filmed in Baku and different regions of the country and our agency will directly coordinate and assist the film crew regarding tourism," Guluzade said.
“The country’s regions are attractive to foreign tourists in terms of recreation, history, culture, national cuisine of Azerbaijan,” he added.
"Foreigners show interest in our country and especially in the tourism sector,” Guluzade said. “For tourism there is no concept of "lack of attractiveness". Everything depends on the creation of good infrastructure, quality service and professional staff. Tourism is a business through which one can turn any region into attractive one and gain as much money as possible."
“In Azerbaijan, the most promising areas for tourism development are such districts as Guba - Khachmaz, Ismayilli, Gabala - Oguz, Zagatala - Balakan - Gakh,” he said, adding that tourism is developing quite dynamically in all these districts.
