With this is mind, it was decided to implement some activities in order to optimize the flow of tourists from Azerbaijan to Bulgaria and vice versa. Bulgaria decided to participate with a national stand at AITF 2012, and we are confident that our participation in AITF will give impetus to tourism relations between our countries.â€
