Wego has collaborated with Azerbaijan Tourism Board to invite travellers from the GCC to take another look at the country and experience its wide array of sights and activities.

Azerbaijan is one of the top three destinations in Europe for MENA-based travellers.

A safe and family-friendly place that has attracted as many as 1.4 million tourists in the first half of 2019, Azerbaijan is the perfect scenic getaway for enjoying a plush European experience at a very affordable price.

Azerbaijan is growing quickly into one of the worlds most exciting emerging holiday destinations.

Inviting all GCC residents with a visa on arrival, there has been a growing demand to increase direct flights from the Middle East. Many airlines including Emirates, Etihad Airways, flydubai and Air Arabia have expanded their services to the capital city of Baku, as well as Gabala, a beautiful city in northern Azerbaijan.

Recently, an increase in the influx of Arab tourists has been witnessed since Flynas, Saudi Arabias low-cost airline, announced new routes to Baku.

Florian Sengstschmid, chief executive of Azerbaijan Tourism Board, said: “We are delighted to start this joint collaboration with Wego to raise awareness about what Azerbaijan has to offer all types of travellers from the GCC countries.

“Located on the border of Europe and Asia, our country is a true blend of the best of east and west, with so many unique opportunities for unforgettable experiences and adventures.

“We have everything from ancient crafts and culture to UNESCO heritage sites and breath-taking mountain and sea landscapes.

“Azerbaijan has been delighted to witness a huge growth in the number of visitors from the Middle East in recent years and we hope this Wego partnership will enable us to welcome masses more in the future.”

Wego will be promoting Bakus key unique attractions and experiences such as the Ateshgah Fire Temple and the Flame Towers, representing the natural fires once worshipped by Zoroastrians.

These must-see places have helped tourism in Azerbaijan to blossom in recent years – the country welcomed over 200,000 GCC tourists in 2018, resulting in a 30 per cent increase compared to the previous year.
