TEHRAN – Iran’s capital, Tehran, is set to enhance its tourism landscape by developing related facilities across all 22 districts, said a local official.

Each district within the metropolis will have a distinct tourism project based on extensive planning and studies, Mohammad-Nazem Razavi told IRNA on Saturday.

Razavi expressed hope that these new tourist spaces will be operational before this Persian year is out. These new facilities, he explained, will supplement Tehran’s existing tourism infrastructure.

“The new tourist centers will offer various services to the citizens,” said the official. “They will also provide short-term accommodation options near parks and pilgrimage sites in the city.”

He also highlighted that these centers could serve as venues for setting up tea houses dedicated to Imam Reza (AS), where locals could distribute their donations.

The total budget allocated for Tehran’s tourism sector this year stands at about eight million dollars, which is intended for developing the city’s tourism infrastructure, according to Razavi.

Earlier this year, Seyyed-Ahmad Alavi, the head of the city council’s tourism committee, announced the approval of tourist routes for all 22 districts.

The goal, Alavi emphasized, is to enhance the quality of life for Tehran’s residents by providing engaging and enjoyable tourism and leisure activities year-round.
