The event is organized by financial support of Azerbaijani Youth Foundation and organizational support of the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Hungary.

There is not enough information about touristic resources, resort zones and travel opportunities of Azerbaijan, therefore AHYU decided to organize this event. This will be a great chance to introduce our country’s touristic places, luxury resorts, natural beauties and other attractions.
