Domestic tourists in Iran, 1400 (2021/22)

The production and publication of reliable statistics and information in the field of tourism is one of the cultural needs of the country and of tourism managers and planners. The Statistical Centre of Iran has implemented the National Tourists survey since 1387 (2008/09). In this survey, statistics and information on tourism and the trips of Iranian households are collected. The latest edition of this report has been published under the title "Results of the National Tourists Survey 1400 (2021/22)". The target population of this report is all ordinary households residing in the country's urban and rural areas.

By consulting this report you can access information such as the number of trips by Iranian households, the main purpose of the trip, the type of trip (with overnight stay and without overnight stay), the type of accommodation, the number of nights of stay, travel costs, and the type of vehicle. In addition, the present report has also compiled complete information on Iranian travelers. This information includes characteristics of the household head such as age, sex, employment status, and literacy level.

The spread of the coronavirus and then the imposition of quarantine, travel restrictions, and social distancing had adverse effects on the tourism industry. So much so that in all aspects of travel, including the number and type of those trips, we are witnessing a large decline relative to previous years. For example, among 26 million and 301 thousand Iranian households, only 7 million and 800 thousand households in 1400 (2021/22) had at least one trip.

Statistics and topics examined in more detail in the report:

• Number of households by members' travel status
• Number of households by travel status and characteristics such as the sex, literacy, occupation, and education of the household head
• Number of household members' trips by destination, type of trip, vehicle, trip purposes, duration and type of stay
• Cost of types of trips by Iranian households
