Baku Holiday Travel Group
Our Story
Our story began in 2013 with the vision of a young entrepreneur, Ramil Rzayev. Despite the fact that he started his academic career in Political Science and Management, he was deeply inspired by his commitment to Azerbaijan and its immense tourism potential. Driven by passion and determination, he and a few of his seatmates launched Baku Holiday Travel as a start-up, making significant sacrifices to turn their dream into reality in that odyssey.
Within a short period of time, successfully passing the start-up phase, BHT transformed from a small-budget company of a few people into a company that dominates incoming and outgoing tourism in Azerbaijan.
Today, we are privileged to connect with thousands of customers every day not only in Azerbaijan but also globally, and we are on our way to becoming one of the prominent heavyweight travel companies on Earth.
The Mission We Take over is a Tremendous Responsibility, But We Have a Dream to Realize
Meeting each traveler's exact needs and making sure they have the highest level of comfort are our core values. And also, we are on a mission to provide top-flight solutions and services for those who seek purposeful travel ideas, scenic escapes, offbeat alternatives, set adventures, and so on.
Apart from these, the BHT culture is based on togetherness, caring for our planet for a healthy tomorrow for future generations, simplicity and minimalism, a pricing policy suitable for every budget, merit-based continuous development and openness to innovation like Artificial Intelligence, responsibility, and most importantly, trust. Because we are strong when we trust each other, move in the same direction, and have fun together from start to end of the journey. That's altogether our mission we embark on, realizing a renaissance revival in the travel industry.
We Believe in the Pursuit of Doing Better and Sustainable Travel
We have always believed Baku Holiday Travel can – and should – have a positive impact not only on travelers, whether they're corporate or individuals, but also on travel agencies that need a boost to survive and revive in the industry. Better service, better deals, better supply chain, better partners, and more sustainability, all at once. It is our vision that together we will elevate our partners, customers, suppliers, and our Planet to create positive change in the areas where we can make the biggest impact and offer the greatest benefit.
Commitment to Environmental Stewardship Principle:
Our goal is to lead the travel industry in sustainable practices. How do we do that? We strive to be resource-positive, reducing our carbon emissions with user-friendly digital solutions. For example, by digitalizing everything, we have reduced the amount of paperwork by up to 70% in the last two years. Through environmentally-friendly activities, waste minimization programs, and the encouragement of renewable resources, we aim to maintain the visual appeal and integrity of destinations featured in our highly-demanded tour packages. On the flip side, we endeavor to restore and protect local environments by supporting conservation initiatives that safeguard biodiversity and natural resources. And our main goal in the next 5 years is to try to realize this not only in Azerbaijan but all over the globe.
Leading Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Travel:
We believe that travel opportunities should be accessible to all, including our team. Our diversity, equity, and inclusion commitment compels us to employ a diverse workforce, offer training and mentorship programs, and support communities that have employment barriers. We actively collaborate with organizations to employ talented individuals, in particular, young people and those passionate about travel (nerds), helping them establish meaningful careers in the travel sector. So that they have a chance to learn the industry in a deeper and more fun way.
Achievements So Far – Successes for Future
Since our founding in 2013, we have been proud to reshape the travel industry landscape both nationally and internationally. Over these 12 long years, the BHT family has achieved dozens of awards and honors. Although that does not mean that Baku Holiday Travel has reached its absolute potential or revels solely in such successes, consumed by sloth. We seek something greater: long-lasting success.
