Following the historic nuclear deal in July 2015 and the subsequent easing of sanctions, Iran has strategically shifted its focus towards international tourism as a catalyst for economic growth, complementing its robust domestic tourism market. Given the pivotal role of tourism in the Middle East and its profound impact on international politics, coupled with the constraints on international mobility, this comprehensive volume presents the first contemporary compilation of research on tourism in Iran. Comprising insightful chapters authored by experts from both within and outside Iran, the book delves into a range of critical topics, including the significance of religion, the role of women in society, the preservation of Iran's cultural heritage, the country's image, and the resilient economy. By offering a comprehensive assessment of tourism and its potential future within a turbulent political landscape, this book appeals to a broad audience, including those with a specific interest in Iran, as well as those seeking a deeper understanding of Iran's regional significance and the strategic utilization of tourism in national and regional economic development policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032338903\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seyfi Siamak,C.
