From the cultural heritage of Baku, Shaki and the Silk Road to hiking trails and ski experiences in the country’s mountain regions, Azerbaijan showcased its diverse tourism offering to Poland’s travel industry. From 6 to 8 October, Azerbaijan Tourism Board (ATB) participated in the AVIAREPS Around the World Roadshow Poland 2026, held in Gdansk, Poznan and Warsaw.
The roadshow brought together around 70 tourism professionals across the three cities, creating a platform to promote Azerbaijan as a year-round destination and introduce experiences spanning cultural heritage, nature, hiking and winter tourism. The meetings also helped build new business connections with Poland’s tourism industry and raise awareness of Azerbaijan as a travel destination.
Growing interest from Poland is reflected in visitor numbers. From January to September 2026, the number of Polish citizens visiting Azerbaijan increased by 13.1% compared with the same period in 2025, highlighting the continued potential of the Polish market.
Connectivity further supports travel between the two countries. Direct flights between Warsaw and Baku operated by LOT Polish Airlines provide convenient access to Azerbaijan, while the e-visa system makes planning easier. Polish citizens can apply at evisa.gov.az at least three working days before arrival, or use the urgent option, with applications processed within three to five hours. The visa allows stays of up to 30 days within its 90-day validity period.
