TEHRAN - As part of the Qazvin Export Capabilities Exhibition in Iraq, some Iranian tourism managers have embarked on a tour to explore Kurdistan region’s key attractions, enhancing cross-regional tourism collaboration.

“Travel insiders are touring Kurdistan’s tourist sites as part of a week-long trip coinciding with the specialized expo in Erbil,” Qazvin’s director-general of cultural heritage, tourism, and handicrafts told IRNA on Thursday.

The tour features 20 managers from Qazvin’s tourism sector who engage with local tourism professionals and explore attractions such as Aqua Tarin Water Park, Sami Abdulrahman Park, and historical sites including Erbil Citadel and the Kurdish Textile Museum, Alireza Khazaeli further explained.

The tour, he continued, will also feature visits to prominent hotels in Erbil, including the Cristal Hotel and Quartz Hotel, to better understand the hospitality services available. Khazaeli highlighted that this initiative aligns with Qazvin’s active participation in the exhibition, where officials will showcase the province’s tourism potential.

“Scheduled to run for four days, starting from July 30, in Kurdistan region, the exhibition will feature economic insiders and producers from the province,” Khazaeli had said in late July.

The directorate general, Alireza Khazaeli added, participate with a booth featuring two counters dedicated to handicrafts and tourism, showcasing the capacities in these sectors.
