Tourism sector helps create 700 jobs in Bushehr
TEHRAN – The tourism sector in the southwestern Bushehr province has generated some 700 job opportunities since the beginning of the current Iranian calendar year 1401 (starts on March 21), the deputy provincial tourism chief has said.
Most jobs are generated by hotels, hotel apartments, traditional restaurants, and tourist complexes, Vahid Jamali explained on Sunday.
Tourism infrastructure development along with a suitable environment for attracting tourists are two effective factors that contribute to employment growth, the official added.
With over 6,000 years of history and significant monuments from the Elamite, Achaemenid, Parthian, and Sassanid eras, Bushehr Province is one of Iran’s most important historical centers.
Besides its cultural heritage, beautiful beaches and lush palm groves make it an attractive destination for world travelers.
