Naftalan region was one of the most popular health resorts during the Soviet era. Every year, its sanatoriums were visited by citizens even from the most remote corners of the country. Today, the resort is also popular with locals and tourists from Russia of the older generation, who remember the resort from those very Soviet times. The low demand for resorts among modern residents of Russia is associated with low awareness of its existence, unique medicinal properties and the lack of a sales representative office in Russia that could make presentations, conduct training webinars and sign contracts on a daily basis.
In the autumn of 2023, representatives of the PMD Hospitality management company contacted the SEA Company in order to popularize the Naftalan direction, sign contracts and increase the flow of guests from Russia.
