In the first seven months of the year, a total of 1 million 342.6 thousand tourists arrived in Azerbaijan from abroad. Citizens of Turkmenistan accounted for approximately 1.3 percent of them.

According to the data, Russia, Turkey, and Iran occupy the leading positions in terms of the number of foreign nationals visiting Azerbaijan. The number of travelers coming to Azerbaijan from these countries was significantly higher compared to other states.

The development of relations between Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan in recent years in transport, economic, cultural-humanitarian, and other areas also creates conditions for expanding contacts between the citizens of the two countries.

The growth of the tourist flow is of great importance for strengthening humanitarian ties between the countries, familiarizing with the cultural heritage, and developing friendly relations between the two peoples.
