The foreign trips of President Ilham Aliyev, the problems of tourism in the country, and the instability in the financial market are the leading topics of today's press.
Azerbaijan writes that in 2016, President Ilham Aliyev made 16 visits to 12 countries. The author tells the story of these visits, claiming that Azerbaijan is perceived as a strong state, not only in the South Caucasus, but also in Eastern Europe.
Echo has published an article entitled "Azerbaijan's national museums are not ready to accept tourists." The museums of Azerbaijan are not ready to receive tourists, particularly from Arab countries. The country has an acute shortage of tour guides who speak Arabic. Naturally, this is not the best way to affect the image of the tourist market of Azerbaijan. There is a problem in the pricing policy. The main disadvantage of the development of the tourism sector in Azerbaijan is overpriced accommodation, poor service, expensive tickets and the lack of direct flights.
Novoye Vremya has published an article about the state of the financial sector, where there is no stability and the state is not fulfilling its function.
As a result, all government programs fail, including social ones. The author criticizes the financial, insurance and investment policy of the government.
