Orkhan Mammadov provided information on the support and services provided by KOBİA to business entities operating in the tourism sector, as well as the project of rural guesthouses implemented by the Agency together with partner institutions. It was emphasized that the scope of the project, which is planned to be expanded, encourages locals to involve in entrepreneurial activities and has a positive impact on multiplying their income.
