Azerbaijan

The beautiful nature of Azerbaijan and hospitality of its people, draws the attention of tourists visiting this South Caucasian country. Moreover, the recent devaluation of Azerbaijani manat much facilitated coming of tourists to the Land of Fire.

The nature of Azerbaijan and the desire of local people to show their rural attractions and activities can promote community-based tourism.Visit Azerbaijan, and experience some of the world’s best hospitality. Locals go to great lengths to help, and guests are a valued commodity. Stay in a homestay, and hosts treat guests with endless cups (or armuda) of tea, snacks and anything else. Ask for directions, and they might show rather than tell. The younger ones who speak some English are often happy to chat about their country. Giving good hospitality is deeply ingrained in Azerbaijani culture.
