No country in Eurasia has closer or warmer ties with Israel than Azerbaijan. The relationship between the two countries is particularly surprising because Azerbaijan is a majority- Muslim country.
Azerbaijan is working to increase the number of tourists from State of Israel. Israeli travelers are regarded as the biggest contributors to the global tourismmarket.
Azerbaijan, in the Caucuses region, is a country that straddles both Eastern Europe and Western Asia, so expect a clash of East meets West and you will find a lot to enjoy here. Located on the Caspian Sea, there are quaint subtropical seaside resorts, or you can embrace Azerbaijan’s name as the Land of Fire with a trip to a flaming mountain or a mud volcano. Azerbaijan has much to offer visitors at the crossroads of Europe and Asia.
Azerbaijan, also called the Land of Fires, is blessed with ingredients that will create good memories for tourists, including natural scenery, people, a historically rich religious diversity, interesting cities to explore, unusual foods, exotic fruits, opportunities to bring home great memories purchased here, and above all, safety in the country. Mountains, forests, farmlands, coastal areas, and nine out of a possible eleven distinct climate zones from subtropical to alpine climates provide Azerbaijan with a broad range of natural environments that can be used to develop a range of tourism activities and to attract a diverse group of tourists.

New challenges emerging from sharp decline of oil prices at global market made authorities in Azerbaijan to take certain measures on economic development. In this regard, the main goal is focused on increasing economic growth dynamics and supporting current economic potential by new economic reforms and improving non-oil sector. So, one of the main steps taken in this direction is Shopping Festivals held in the country twice in a year. These Shopping Festivals are held in accordance with the decree signed by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, on 1 September 2016 under the title of the Additional Measures aimed at the development of tourism in the Republic of Azerbaijan and the approved Strategic Roadmap for Development of Specialized Tourism Industry.
