Azerbaijan aims to establish a professional guiding and safety system for mountain and adventure tourism activities.

Operativ Media reports that this is reflected in the "State Program for Tourism Development for 2026–2030," approved today by President Ilham Aliyev.

In addition, the program covers improving the Law "On Tourism," establishing minimum requirements and oversight mechanisms for tourism industry entities, improving dispute resolution mechanisms to protect consumer rights in tourism, and setting regulatory legal requirements regarding sanitation, hygiene, safety, and emergency situations for hotels and other accommodation facilities.
