Vali Teymouri, the deputy Minister of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism said Iran hosted 4.1 million foreign tourists during the first five months of the current Iranian year.
Mr. Teymouri said that the visits were made despite the threats and challenges facing the country.
Iraq was the main source of tourism for Iran last year according to the World Travel and Tourism Council, they included 24% of all inbound visitors. After Iraq some countries had the major number of tourists to Iran, they were Azerbaijan (17%), Turkey (8%), Pakistan (4%) and Bahrain (2%). The remaining 46% came from the rest of the world.
