Hassan Khalilabadi stated that the WTO has so far enlisted 158 countries and 500 tourism organisations.

Noting that 14 Iranian entities have joined the World Tourism Organisation so far, he said under the current circumstances that Iran is faced with maximum and unjust pressure of sanctions, tourism can be a job-creating industry.
