Are we ready for the future of the tourism industry?
In Malaysia, with 26 million foreign tourists in 2019, there is 1 hotel for every 5 thousand foreign tourists; in Iran, too, with 8/5 million foreign tourists in 1398 (2019/20), there is one hotel for every 7 thousand people. The World Economic Forum reported in 2019 that Iran ranks first in the world on the price competitiveness index in the tourism sector; that is, its services and products are very cheap and attractive for foreign travelers. 1 million tomans as the cost of an overnight stay in a 5-star hotel in Iran is equivalent to 40 dollars, which in many countries is the cost of a stay in one- and two-star hotels.
If one day Iran's foreign tourists increase 2-fold, either more hotels must be built, or alternative solutions such as ecolodges must be used.
