Before the COVID pandemic, Iran's tourism had actually constantly been growing, reaching more than 8 million visitors in the Iranian
calendar year 1398 (started March 21, 2019)
That surge, however, assisted prejudices to end up being thick and thin.However, Iran's trump card is that the nation take advantage of a
wide array of travel destinations ranging from seacoasts and lush green woods to towering mountains and harsh deserts

powder chasers, culture devotees, pilgrims, museum-goers, foodies, travelers, and medical tourists, to name a few.ABU/ AM
