In this regard, the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization has called for closer cooperation with local authorities, CHTN quoted Gholamreza Farrokhi, the provincial tourism chief, as saying on Sunday.

“We should exploit untapped potential to develop tourist accommodation,” Farrokhi said.

“Historical structures hold considerable tourism potential and can cater to boost arrivals if properly restored and renovated,” the official added.

Iran plans to add 2,000 eco-lodges to its budding hospitality industry until 2021.
