Russian tour operators report no significant drop in bookings for vacations in Azerbaijan.

AZERTAC cited the Russian Union of the Travel Industry (RUTI) press service, which has debunked media reports suggesting a decline in interest in Azerbaijan tours. RUTI clarified that earlier claims by the Association of Travel Agencies of a 30-40% decrease in bookings are unsubstantiated. "We verified this information, and tour operators confirm it is not accurate. Only a minimal number of cancellations, within normal limits, have occurred," RUTI stated.

RUTI further noted that Azerbaijan’s tourism industry continues to welcome Russian tourists warmly.
