Fatemi said, “Events play an important role in promoting tourism, so events should be held.”
He said people once only traveled to certain districts and hotels in certain countries such as Semnan and Karman, but now there are also plenty of hotels in these states. This change in approach comes from holding events and showing elegance in various states, he added.
“We prepared cheap travel packages that were not approved by the government, but we looked into another plan in the form of a platform that received discounts from our travel agents.
