A private sector official has said Iran is preparing to host tourist guides and instructors in 2017.
Masoud Shirin Kalam, who is in charge of tourism, economy and arts affairs in Iran’s Chamber of Commerce, told IRNA on Saturday that officials working in related areas are holding constant sessions to discuss the issue.
He noted that those who are planned to visit Iran as tourist guides based on international conventions will act as good envoys to promote Iranian culture in a bid to absorb tourists.
Noting that the sixth development plan pays special attention to tourism both in private and government sectors, he hoped for removal of restrictions facing promotion of tourism industry.
