In Azerbaijan, besides meeting the country’s highest authorities, the WTO Secretary-General will tour heritage attractions located in the historic towns of Sheki, Ismailli, Shamakhi and Agsu.
In both countries, Mr. Frangialli is scheduled to meet the UNDP resident representatives to discuss technical cooperation in favour of tourism development in Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The Secretary-General will transit from Armenia to Azerbaijan through Georgia, another member of the Organization.
Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia are keen to develop sustainable tourism based on their significant natural and man-made tourism resources. Their location on the Silk Road makes them enticing cultural destinations, and their active membership of the World Tourism Organization serves as a useful tool for promoting their tourism assets in the global market. WTO is convinced that this region of the world has great tourism potential and will do all it can to assist the countries concerned in developing sustainable tourism for the benefit of local populations.
