Tehran – Maraghe in eastern Azarbaijan has been selected as a pilot for the implementation of the tourist town.
Maragheh Mayor Shahram Morevvati is planning to become a successful model of Iran’s tourist town by bringing serious changes to basic tourism in urban change, Irna reported.
He announced a change to the tourism district planning model of Maragheh City.
Located northwest of Iran, Maraghe is located in a mountainous landscape that runs through the city and through the historic observatory.
The mayor is the initiator of the path to revitalize Malaga with the title of tourist town. He said the world is changing at an unprecedented rate. “New technology is creating new styles of urban life. It is no longer possible to manage cities with old tools and approaches. If urban management cannot adapt to these changes, it will inevitably face inefficiency, social dissatisfaction and waste of resources. For this reason, more than ever, the urban planning system needs to be revived.
He continued. “One major problem is facing us due to economic pressure and lower household purchasing power. Traditional revenue-based funding models no longer meet today’s needs for urban services and facilities.
“In Malague city management, I have come to believe that the future lies in creativity. The global experience shows that one of the most successful approaches to achieving sustainable development is the development of urban tourism. With a rich historical and natural background, Marage has an unparalleled ability to become a tourism bureau. Replace the “ideal city” model with the “tourist planning” model.
He said the new model would be to convert costs into income and create sustainable income opportunities. This means that the city of Malagae will transform from a service-consuming city into an active hosting environment, he added.
