In addition to package tours with air transportation, we can book ground service”, he said. The tour operator notes that the flight to Tehran will be interesting for those tourists who like to learn something new and unusual, as well as those who are interested in history and culture. At the moment, a visa is required to enter Iran, but Moscow and Tehran are discussing the abolition of the visa regime. Preparation of rules and regulations may take about two months. The executive director also notes that in order to promote the tourism industry of Iran, it is planned to use traditional tour operator’s tools: newsletters, seminars, webinars.
