Tehran cherry blossoms festival draws 8,000 tourists
Morteza Mohammadnejad, during the third Kan cherry festival held in the four villages of Sangan, said, “We witnessed the presence of 8,000 tourists at this festival, indicating a 50% growth compared to last year,” ILNA wrote.
He highlighted the potential of the villages in the Kan district and added, “These potentials have led to the organization of four festivals throughout the year, including the cherry festival in April-May, the black mulberry festival in late summer, the persimmon festival in late autumn, and the seasonal festival attended by various ethnic groups.” He emphasized the importance of holding these festivals to support rural productions and promote organic products, stating, “These festivals in Kan district aim to boost tourism, introduce the region’s villages, products, and mountainous capabilities, diversify rural productions, increase public participation in promoting a healthy lifestyle, strengthen family bonds, protect the environment and promote recycling, preserve natural resources, enhance social activities, and promote universal sports throughout the year.”
Mohammadnejad added, “Alongside these exquisite products, three ancient sites, including a 4,000-year-old plantain tree, a historical waterfall, and a 250-year-old historical caravanserai, are among the other attractions that attract eager tourists to this beautiful mountainous region.” The Kan cherry festival not only celebrates the cultural richness of the region but also serves as a platform for economic growth and sustainable tourism, drawing visitors to experience the beauty and heritage of Kan’s villages.
