Azerbaijan can now host a million tourists

According to information from the Azeri Ministry of Culture and Tourism, in 2009 the country expects a serious inflow of tourists, approximately one million.

Minister Abulfaz Karaev mentioned that two years ago there were only 19,000 hotel rooms in the whole country. Today there are 26,000. In 2009 the tourist infrastructure is expected to grow, so much so that in three years time the country will have 50,000 hotel rooms, enough to host around two million tourists.
