Dashkasan: At the initiative of 'AzerGold' CJSC and with the support of the State Tourism Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan, an infotour to the Dashkasan district, including the Chovdar Integrated Regional Processing Area (CIRPA), was organized for 14 tourism bloggers who are members of the Azerbaijan Tourism Bloggers Association.
According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the three-day infotour was held as part of the state-owned company's Corporate Social Responsibility Program for the current year. The initiative aimed to highlight Dashkasan district's tourism potential, showcasing its natural landscapes, historical and cultural heritage, and ecotourism opportunities to a broader audience.
During the visit, participants were given a tour of CIRPA, where they received detailed information about the company's operations. They learned about gold extraction and processing processes, modern technologies used in production, and measures taken to protect labor and the environment. The bloggers observed the production areas and familiarized themselves with the stages of gold processing. They also visited local settlements where "AzerGold" CJSC has implemented social responsibility projects and engaged with local communities.
Further into the infotour, participants explored the city of Dashkasan and the villages of Qushchu, Bayan, Qabaqtepe, Zaghaly, and Khoshbulag. They documented the region's natural beauty, historical and cultural heritage, and ecotourism opportunities through photo and video content. Information about Dashkasan's tourism routes and attractions was shared with the bloggers during the tour.
