A ray of hope in Iranians' employment
Tourism, which is referred to as invisible exports, currently creates 1 out of every 11 jobs in the world; that is, a little more than 9 percent. The good news is that Iranians' employment in the tourism sector is increasing. Iranians' employment in the tourism sector has increased with a gentle slope over the past 2 decades and has gone from 5/3 percent in 1382 (2003/04) to 7/3 percent in 1398 (2019/20); about 1/7 million people. Of course, the share of those employed in the tourism sector in Iran is still below the global average. Tourism is certainly one of the keys to exiting the economic problems that have gripped Iran's oil economy for years and years. An increase in the number of tourists will certainly lead to an increase in employment in this industry. In the 1404 (2025/26) document it is stated that the number of Iran's tourists must reach 20 million people a year, but only close to 8 million people visited Iran in 1397 (2018/19). Iran ranks tenth at UNESCO in terms of the number of registered World Heritage sites, and it remains to be seen whether it can, in the years remaining until 1404 (2025/26), attain its true standing.
