Deputy Head of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts Vali Teymouri says rural tourism is of significance around the globe.

“Given that rural tourism and nature touring is the slogan of the whole world, Iran announced its readiness to host the rural tourism conference in the country,” he noted.

The deputy minister underlined that a strategic document for the development of rural tourism is being drawn up.

“This document will be announced at the international rural tourism conference,” he noted.

“Iranian people are into travelling and spending while on a trip, and serious attention should be paid to domestic tourism potential,” he said.
