TEHRAN, Iran – The National Library and Archives of Iran (NLAI) has been added to the list of places tourists can visit on their journeys to Iran.
The decision to add the NLAI to tourists’ itineraries is based on an agreement signed between the Iranian Tour Operators Association (ITOA) of the Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts Organization (CHTHO) and the NLAI on Saturday.
“Cultural tourism is one of the popular fields in the tourism industry, and due to numerous cultural centers in Iran, the country could be turned into a major destination for cultural tours,” NLAI’s International Department Director Mohammad Soltanifar said after signing the agreement.
“Tourists will surely derive great satisfaction from visiting the library,” he added.
CHTHO Deputy Director Morteza Rahmani described the agreement as a starting point for other organizations, which are interested in showing their cultural abilities to tourists.
“By adding the library to tourists’ itineraries, I am sure that we will play a major part in introducing our country’s cultural abilities,” chairman of the board of directors of the ITOA, Ebrahim Purfaraj, stated.
