Tehran, September 23 (Xinhua) — Iran has set a goal of making China its main tourism partner, Iran's Minister of Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts, Reza Salehi Amiri, announced Monday, according to the state news agency IRIB.
Noting the large number of Chinese tourists traveling abroad each year, the minister said, "We must participate in this market." He noted that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is working to achieve this goal.
Earlier this month, R.S. Amiri said the number of Chinese tourists visiting Iran should increase given the high level of relations between the two countries.
To attract more Chinese tourists, Iran introduced a unilateral visa-free policy for Chinese citizens in July 2019 and trained dozens of Chinese-speaking tour guides.
Iran has also prepared Chinese-language catalogues for Chinese tourists so that they can learn more about Iranian culture while visiting the country's museums and attractions.
