Iran to boost tourism industry by increasing cultural activities
We hope that we will be able to consolidate the capacities of all three ministries through different channels. In this direction, we will have a high appreciation for the country. The FM minister added that cultural activities in Iranian civilization would be operationalized in a new way.
Iran to resume tourism in the country
Minister of Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts, Ezzatollah Zarghami also expressed his satisfaction with attending the meeting and said: "In recent weeks, vaccination of tourism-related factors is completing."
He said that the issuance of tourist visas has been stopped for the last 20 months, noting: "Considering the importance of tourism, we will be able to resume tourism in the country by observing the protocols."
Tourism today is a clear example of public diplomacy. Indeed, the policies of Raisi's government are to strengthen public diplomacy, of which tourism is an important pillar. Our cultural values are exported through tourism. If the necessary conditions are correctly provided, we will soon see the resumption of tourist visas in all areas.
The Minister of Tourism stated: "We have 17 areas of tourism, all of which are important. Our cultural heritage is one of the exceptions worldwide."
Maritime tourism is very important, and our naval capacity in this area is extraordinary, but what we see today is zero today, and we hope that with the efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the cooperation of our managers in the field of treatment and medical education, foreign tourists will soon arrive and use all.
