Turkmen specialists conducted meetings and consultations on an exchange of experiences in web marketing and online tourism. These spheres that are very popular today serve as an important tool to promote the industry, increase its competitiveness and enhance prestige of Turkmenistan's tourism sector.
A meeting between our delegation representing hotel business with the representatives of booking.com, the largest company specializing in this sphere focused on the ways to promote services of travel enterprises and hotels of Turkmenistan in the international arena. Booking.com is the leading European online hotel booking software attracting over 20 million users each month worldwide.
It is expected that Turkmen hotels, including those in the Avaza national tourism zone, will be included in this system.
