Analysis of inbound tourism data to Iran in 1403 (2024/25) presents a precise picture of the characteristics of this industry. With the arrival of about 7.4 million foreign tourists, Iran's tourism industry shows a deep dependence on neighboring countries, especially Iraq, with a share of nearly half of total arrivals. This geographic pattern well explains the 75.8 percent dominance of land borders over air and sea routes.
In addition, the gender breakdown of travelers and the substantial share of men (more than 71 percent) reveals the main nature of the trips, which have primarily been undertaken for pilgrimage, medical, work, and commercial purposes. Taken together, these statistics represent a distinct pattern of regional and purpose-driven tourism.
