Azerbaijan becomes destination partner of World Travel&Tourism Council

Azerbaijan has become a destination partner of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC).

Joining the WTTC brings a certain number of significant benefits to Azerbaijan, TourMag reports.

First and foremost, WTTC membership positions Azerbaijan’s tourism sector at the forefront of the private and economic agenda.

It also plays an active role beneficial to the public sector, paving the way for interactions with government officials and high-level policy discussions. By actively interacting with other WTTC members, Azerbaijan strengthens its network and fosters deeper connections among leaders in both the public and private sectors.

The membership allows Azerbaijan to encompass the entire supply chain of Travel and Tourism, which includes engagement with stakeholders focused on topics such as Sustainability and Future Technology in Travel.

In addition to becoming a partner destination, Azerbaijan has also joined the WTTC’s Hostel Sustainability Basics (‘Basics’) partnership. This partnership implies a globally recognized and coordinated set of sustainability indicators that all hotels are encouraged to implement as a minimum standard.

Being a destination partner, Azerbaijan made its debut appearance at the WTTC Global Summit in Kigali, Rwanda, this week, which had the theme: “Building Bridges to a Sustainable Future”.

In Azerbaijan, the needs of today’s travellers are met by the availability of a wide range of modern amenities, such as world-class hotels, upscale restaurants, and shopping centres. Azerbaijan boasts a wealth of attractions, including the UNESCO-listed Old City of Baku, the Caucasus Mountains, the Caspian Sea, and the ancient Silk Road.
