Czechs interested in tourist flow from Azerbaijan
By Trend
The Czech Republic is interested in tourist flow from Azerbaijan, said Petr Vagner, counselor of the Czech embassy in Azerbaijan, deputy head of mission, at a press conference in Baku on October 21.
Vagner noted that Prague and Karlovy Vary are the most popular places for tourists from Azerbaijan.
“However, there is an intention to promote new tourist destinations of the Czech Republic. The country’s southern regions can be interesting to visit,” he said.
Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Azerbaijan Vitezslav Pivonka said that in 2015, the embassy’s consular department issued more than 8,500 visas.
In 2016, the number of issued visas decreased due to the global crisis, but the reduction is not significant, noted Consul of the Czech Republic in Azerbaijan Josef Bohac.
As of late September, the embassy issued about 6,000 visas and it is expected that this figure will rise to 7,000 until late 2016.
