Tourism is the engine of the country's economic development

Minister of Cultural Heritage, Craft and Tourism:

Handicrafts are defined at the heart of tourism, therefore we must operate tourism in Iran, any income in foreign currency means goods leaving Iran, but when a tourist comes to Iran, he spends time in Iran.

According to the data of the World Tourism Organization, the average cost of tourists in our region is 1,270 dollars, and it is higher in the countries of the Persian Gulf.

Health tourism is close to 3,000 dollars, tourism can change the country's economy and can help in the field of employment. We have four times more direct workers in the field of tourism, we have indirect workers, land transport, restaurants, hotels and the series of events that happen in the field of tourism activate the economy, therefore tourism is the engine of development.
