NCRI – Majority of European tourist packages to Iran particularly from Germany and France have been cancelled in the current month, according to the secretary of the committee for incoming tours, Ebrahim Pourfaraj. He added that the state of tourism is now back to the days just after the 9/11.
He emphasized that due to current situation many tourists are scared of traveling to Iran and tourist packages with 25 guests have dropped to 15 and in some cases as low as even five.
With 60 percent drop in the number of tourists visiting Iran, Pourfaraji expressed fear if the current trend continued the damage to Iran’s tourism industry would be irreparable.
