Reklāma
Azerbaijan as an outbound travel market has seen significant growth in recent years and is forecast to grow further. With a population of 9.9 million, Azerbaijan is the 4th largest economy in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). In 2016 over 5.1 million outbound trips were taken by Azerbaijanis, making it an attractive emerging market with numerous opportunities for airlines, tourism authorities and retail attractions to increase their arrival numbers and mix, as well as visitor expenditure.
Says Edgar Lacker, Chief Executive Officer, AVIAREPS: “Azerbaijan, as a dynamic emerging market, has long been in the sights of our international clients. With our new office opened and specialised team in place, we are extremely proud and excited to become part of the Azerbaijan and Georgia corporate landscapes.
