Tehran, Yerevan hold 5th joint tourism cooperation meeting
The team is led by Iran’s Deputy Minister of Tourism and includes senior officials from East Azerbaijan province and the ministry’s marketing and foreign tourism department.
The three‑day conference focuses on deepening bilateral ties and easing travel for visitors between the two neighbors. Agendas include expanding cultural and road‑travel routes, streamlining border‑crossing procedures and promoting joint tourism packages.
Officials are also convening a round‑table between Armenian tour operators and Iranian private‑sector representatives. Discussions cover medical tourism, heritage-site visits and coordinated marketing efforts. Additional meetings are scheduled with Armenia’s health ministry, national tourism board, and economy ministry.
The session continues the structured cooperation begun at the fourth committee meeting in Tehran during the 2022 Iran International Tourism Exhibition. Armenia has emerged as a key outbound destination for Iranian travelers, particularly in shopping, medical travel and cultural heritage.
The current meeting follows broader bilateral agreements signed in August 2025 across tourism, culture, trade and infrastructure, showing Yerevan’s growing role in Iran’s regional tourism strategy.
