Iran’s Kish to give visa-free access to Football World Cup audiences The visa-free travel was declared on Friday when Tehran and Doha signed a memorandum of understanding MOU to widen the flying partnership. The two nations have argued ways to further deepen the leisure industry, cultural heritage, and handicraft ties by taking benefit of the FIFA World Cup chance in Qatar. Earlier this year, Iran’s Cultural Inheritance, Tourism, and Handicrafts Minister Ezzatollah Zarghami and Qatar’s Minister of Culture and Sports Abdulrahman bin Hamad bin Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani met in Tehran.

Exchanging views on how to simplify tourism during the main event. Zarghami says the nation must take the gigantic opportunity to introduce the section to the international spectators of the Football World Cup. A major number of travellers, mostly young people, would arrive in Qatar to attend the World Cup. It offers an exceptional chance for us to properly introduce traveller attractions of the nation.

Over the past months, we have ready some plans to arrack attendees to the upcoming Qatar FIFA World Cup soccer challenge, Zarghami said, most significantly, our southern islands and free zones in the Persian Gulf are arranged to host overseas audiences since they are pleasing and wallet-friendly destinations. Many people are involved to visit Iran for its historical charms and ecotourism to name a few, Zarghami listed.

His assistant for tourism, Ali-Asghar Shalbafian, says the landmark event would give Iran a chance to dwindle the so-called anti-Iranian opinions known as Iranophobia. Qatar Football World Cup offers a unique opportunity to introduce destinations near the host nation, and we should take advantage of this chance to confront Iranophobia. To make good use of this event. It is essential to grow agreement on the relevant actions.

And if this does not occur, it will be harmful to the nation, Shalbafian explained. The earthly position of Iran and its exclusive tourist attractions make it a potential destination for World Cup viewers, the official added. Therefore, proper policy-making and organization in collaboration with the private sector can pave the way for the widespread use of this event. Iran football team became the 14th side to book their place in the FIFA World Cup. Moreover, the head of the Association of Kish Hoteliers has announced the island is ready to host Qatar FIFA World Cup viewers as well as participating sides. The proximity of Kish to Qatar and the lower cost of staying on this island make it possible for addressees and sides to stay here during the Football World Cup. Experts believe Iran would achieve a tourism rebound after the coronavirus disease is contained.

Believe its impact would be short-term and short-lived for a nation that ranked the third fastest-growing tourism end in 2019. Head of the Iranian Tour Operators Ebrahim Pourfaraj believes the FIFA World Cup should be a turning point in Iran’s tourism industry. By attracting World Cup spectators to Iran, the Iranian tourism industry could secure a happier future.

There is also a need for the Iranian southern islands of Kish and Qeshm to re-affirm their lodging centres’ capacity to receive foreign travellers, he noted. The Islamic State expects to reap a bonanza from its frequent tourist spots such as bazaars, museums, mosques, bridges, bathhouses, madrasas, mausoleums, churches, towers, and mansions, of which 26 are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
