Laman Ismayilova read more The Azerbaijani State Tourism Board has showcased the tourism
potential of the country at the Jewish Silk Road event in Tel Aviv,
Israel.
Azernews informs that the large-scale event was organized at the
initiative of the World Jewish travel organization.
Head of the State Tourism Board's Tourism Product Sector Gunel
Badalova addressed the event.
In her speech, Gunel Badalova touched upon the Jewish community,
living across Azerbaijan, especially in Baku, Guba, Oguz,
Ismayilli, etc.
She informed the event about ancient synagogues discovered in
different parts of Azerbaijan and that seven synagogues are
currently operating in the country.
It is significant to note that there are Mountain Jews, who
settled in the Caucasus over 2,000 years ago. Located 165 km
northwest of Baku, Krasnaya Sloboda (Red village) is home to the
country's largest community of Mountain Jews and one of the largest
Jewish population points in the former Soviet Union.
This Jewish settlement in Guba has been inhabited by Jews since
the 13th century. Here the Jews have lived together with the
Azerbaijanis for many years in peace.
Gunel Badalova's speech was met with great interest by the
listeners.
Meanwhile, the Azerbaijani Tourism Board and around 15 local
tourism and hospitality industry representatives, including
Azerbaijani Airlines Company, the Shahdag Tourism Centre, and the
Museum of Mountain Jews, represented the country at the
International Mediterranean Tourism Market (IMTM) in Tel Aviv.
MTM 2023 unites professionals from all levels of business and
service in tourism and travel, offering you the opportunity to
exhibit at our in-person exhibition at the Expo Centre, Tel
Aviv.
