Figures released by the World Tourism Organization show a 315-percent rise in the number of tourist visits to Iran last year.

According to the data, over 4.1 million tourists traveled to Iran last year, recording a four-fold rise in the number of such visits compared to the previous year.

The rise in the arrival of foreign tourists to Iran last year was 3 times the global average, the data showed.

Nevertheless, Iran’s share in attracting foreign tourists is still small, and only 0.4% of all foreign tourist trips in 2022 were made to Iran.

Tourism in Iran is diverse, providing a range of activities from visiting historical ties, forests and natural attractions to hiking and skiing in mountains and beach holidays by the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea.
