According to the ambassador, 22,000 Israelis have already arrived in Azerbaijan so far this year: “In 2019, before the COVID, about 15,000 Israelis came to us. Last year, 24,000 Israelis arrived. This year, until August alone, 22,000 have already arrived. It is an optimistic opening that this year we will break the last record. We have already started working on campaigns to promote tourism in 2024.
