The destination hopes to close 2019 by hitting its target for three million arrivals.
Speaking to TTG at WTM London, Florian Sengstschmid also revealed tourism numbers from January to October 2019 were 10.5% above figures for the same period in 2018.
The largest growth came from countries including China, Korea, Japan and India, whose markets all grew by between 65% and 70% in 2019.
Sengstschmid partly attributed growth in China and India to new routes launched by national carrier Azerbaijan Airlines, with a new flight from Beijing-Baku launched at the end of 2018, and a new Deli-Baku route launched in April this year.
