Russia's government has approved a draft agreement with Iran on cooperation in the tourist industry
Russia's government has approved a draft agreement with Iran on cooperation in the tourist industry, a spokesman said Friday. The five-year agreement aims to promote tour groups and individual tourism to both countries by simplifying travel bureaucracy, to facilitate the arrangement of symposiums and exchange schemes for experts and journalists specializing in tourism issues, and to boost contacts between tour operators. According to Iranian English-language newspaper Iran Daily, 29,000 Russians visit Iran each year on business, and only 1,000 come to the country as tourists, whereas neighboring Turkey annually hosts up to 1.5 million Russian tourists. Only five tour agencies in Russia currently offer trips to Iran, as most do not regard the Islamic Republic as a safe destination.
