Ardeshir Oruji, a senior tourism expert, said that Iran’s lack of coact with the world was the first issue in the field of tourism and told Kajaro: “
Like all issues in the coury, tourism is also subject to the political issue. Unless we ieract with the world, we cannot expect tourism in Iran to prosper. No one is eager to come to Iran, and if so, insurance companies do not support them and unfortunately eliminated Iran’s foreign tourism offices from tourism trips.
The tourism expert said:
After the problems of communication with the world are resolved, there are still other things like the Iernet filter and ierbank communication in the world. Iran’s relationship with the World Bank is also not possible for the same political issues.
Referring to various challenges in the field of tourism, he said:
Another challenge in the field of tourism in Iran is the issue of booking. We can book a hotel or travel transportation ticket; But we are not connected to the World Reservation Network. Anyone from anywhere in the world for every day they wa to be able to book tickets. For example, the rail transport system in Iran is available for a specific time such as avalanches for March. In this way, one cannot expect a foreign tourist to plan to come to Iran. On the other hand, our air fleet is worn out. When the airlines of other couries are very advanced, the foreign tourists of our coury certainly do not choose to travel.
Regarding the Ministry of Tourism ‘s announcemes about the arrival of tourists io the coury, Oruji said:
Tourism officials don’t think real. Any minister sitting on the ministry’s office thinks of a dream; Because he was to coinue his ministry period; If they wa to think real, there are many major problems that they must first resolve. We still do not have a tourism statistical site to make it available to reporters, tourists, researchers and investors in the field, and to examine the tourism issue in a process.
He said the creation of a statistical site in the field of tourism was one of the esseials of this field and said:
After this statistical site, the site of tourism satellite accous must be created to investigate how much tourists have been in Iran and how much we have invested in various tourism areas. So we can’t check how many tourists came to Iran and how much they had financially brought it; So in the ierviews they give statistics that do not match reality.
Urouji explained that health and pilgrimage tourism can be effective if its mechanism is provided, explained:
Tourist ery statistics are fabricated because they provide statistics that are not real. A site is not available to researchers so they can examine the ery and exit and the amou of residence of tourists. Health tourism in other couries is such that the physician is linked to the patie during recovering and third -party insurance is also accepted.
The tourism expert, given the booming health market in the past, added:
Iran was once welcomed by neighboring couries because of the cheap and skilled doctors in the coury; But today we got away from that booming period, and in addition to all this, many of our doctors migrated. On the other hand, the mechanism for attracting health tourism is not correct and the statistics are unreliable.
He says about religious tourism and pilgrimage, saying that in the religious tourism sector, tourists are not in the tourism cycle at all.
There is no tourism; A small number of tourists eer the hotel either go to restauras or use the public transport system. A number of tourists eering the coury are welcomed as a delegation and are resettled in mosques or Husseiniyas. They return to their own coury after they have been visited; So they are not considered in our tourism cycle. Many of these statistics are announced are borderline traffic and family communication between the borders. For example, they come from Iraq to Iran or eer Azerbaijan. On the other hand, the Afghans are constaly traveling.
