Iran launches new tourism website

The Iranian Students Tourism and Travelling Agency (ISTTA) has launched a tourism website to introduce the country's countless natural and cultural attractions. The website was launched in the hopes that it could be used as an authentic source for international tourists to become acquainted with countless natural, religious, historical and cultural attractions of Iranian cities. ISTTA director Manouchehr Jahanian told ISNA that the project was finished “despite financial problems,” expressing hopes that the website would be improved in the near future. Users can easily get access to the information categorized on the website in English, Arabic and Persian. They can also get the latest news and events related to each city and destination as well as books and articles about Iran and Iranian studies. The website is affiliated with the Academic Center for Education, Culture, and Research (ACECR) and can be visited at istta.ir.
