A fantastic amalgamation of Europe and Asia, Azerbaijan, a small landlocked nation comes straight from the fairytales. A music-loving country, this land of fires is home to the largest number of mud volcanoes. It’s a perfect combination of history, culture and modernity and offers excellent eateries serving local and international delicacies. In an exclusive interview with IOTV, Florian Sengstschmid, the CEO of the tourism board of Azerbaijan, talks about the opportunities there for the first time travellers, air connectivity and traditional cuisines.
