Despite its high tourism potential, Iran still faces many challenges in attracting foreign visitors. In these circumstances, every opportunity to increase the inflow of foreign tourists should be seized. While the number of our foreign visitors from various countries is still not substantial, the arrival of travelers such as Iraqi tourists should be seen as a major capacity for the country's economic growth.
The controversies and side issues that arise from time to time about these tourists not only do not benefit the tourism industry, they also damage Iran's image and threaten this valuable opportunity. Managing harms and any potential problems in tourism should not turn into hostility toward tourists.
Through proper management and cultural awareness-raising, we must provide a safe and attractive setting for all tourists so that, while preserving society's values, we can benefit from the economic and cultural advantages of their presence. Tourism can flourish by welcoming all foreign visitors, not by exclusion and controversy-making.
