The Korea World Travel Fair(KOTFA) was held in Seoul on June 1-4, providing a pleasant atmosphere for the exchange of views and the latest trends of tourism industry of the world.

KOTFA aims at introducing the variety of the touristic climate and develops the environment of tourism in the region.

Azerbaijan's tourism potential was promoted at the fair, Azertac reported.

Azerbaijan's stand at the fair featured photos reflecting national culture, musical instruments, national clothing, historical monuments, and nature. Visitors were also given brochures promoting Azerbaijan`s tourism potential.

Azerbaijan is the land where all paths meet, fully refuting disproving the old saying that, "West is West and East is East, and never the twain shall meet".

Tourists see here a clash of East meets West and find a lot to enjoy. Situated on the Great Silk Road, and divided partially between Eastern Europe and Western Asia, Azerbaijan blended the best from both cultures, forming its own unique rich culture, that’s why its people are neither totally Eastern, nor totally Western.

Azerbaijan was able to make big strides in development of basic types of tourism such as beach, sightseeing, medical, extreme and business tourism.
