Iran talks plans for tourism development

TEHRAN, Iran, July 12

Trend:

Iran as a destination is in demand from European tourists, while Russian tourists are mostly interested in ecotourism, desert and adventure-type of tourism in Iran, director of tourism development office in Iran Leyla Ajdari said, Trend reports via ILNA.

"Our main policy is to increase the inflow of tourists, through cooperation with the Foreign Ministry," said Ajdari.

"While Iran's cultural attachés in other countries started to introduce Iran as a tourist destination, they are still far from achieving desirable results," she said.

"We reviewed the target market based on income, population and income. The COVID-19 situation didn't affect these indicators too much, so our target markets haven't changed," she explained.

"The number of tourists from Oman and China increased after B2B meetings. We're hoping the improved conditions would allow Iran to get back on track with tourism," she said.

"Ajdari said it is possible that Iran would lose some the share of incoming tourists, including because of visa issuance problems. Another problem, according to her, is the Delta variation of the COVID-19, which affects the tourist flow.
