The Azerbaijan Tourism Board (ATB) has opened a representative office in Beijing.
The office aims to promote Azerbaijan's tourism potential, with the ultimate goal of boosting Chinese tourist arrivals in Azerbaijan.
The opening ceremony was attended by Fuad Naghiyev, Chairman of the State Tourism Agency, Teymur Nadiroglu, Azerbaijan's Trade Representative in China, and Florian Sengstschmid, CEO of the Azerbaijan Tourism Board.
As part of the visit, the Azerbaijani delegation participated in the international tourism exhibition ITB China 2026, held from 26-28 May in Shanghai, with a national stand featuring tourism industry partners, including AZAL as co-exhibitors.
