Financial Tribune - Qualified cities will be officially designated "Tourist City" by Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization in an upcoming exhibition on tourism economy.

"After monitoring and reviewing the plans adopted by provinces and cities over the past year to develop the standard features of a Tourist City, we prepared licenses grading the cities according to those standards," the director of ICHHTO's tourism department, Mohammad Moheb-Khodaei, said.

"We will hand those licenses during the International Exhibition of Tourism Economy and Investment to the officials from the provinces and cities deemed eligible," He said in a talk with the CHTN on Friday.
