The Iranian capital of Tehran is gearing up to host two significant events in the tourism industry – the 17th International Exhibition of Tourism and Related Industries (TITE) and the second National Symposium on Tourism and Green Investment. Slated to take place from February 13 to 16, 2023, the events are expected to draw participants from various domestic and international entities.
TITE: A Confluence of Global Tourism Stakeholders
This international exhibition, the most significant of its kind in Iran, aims to keep participants abreast of the latest developments in the Iranian tourism industry. It also seeks to facilitate business networking between domestic and international entities. Stakeholders supporting these events include the Technology and Applied Research Deputy of the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts, and Tourism Organization, the Faculty of Tourism, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts, and the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran.
National Symposium on Tourism and Green Investment
Running parallel to the first three days of TITE, the symposium aims to highlight sustainable tourism practices that adhere to environmental standards and foster social responsibility. The symposium will take place at the Green Hall of the Tehran International Permanent Fairground.
The symposium is expected to be an intellectual gathering, featuring discussions and presentations by scholars, scientific organizations, industry associations, and researchers. With a primary objective of promoting green investment in Iran’s tourism sector, it is expected to stimulate discourse on the necessity of sustainable practices in the industry.
Focus on Sustainable Tourism
These events underline the growing emphasis on sustainable, environmentally friendly tourism services, a global trend that Iran is keen to adopt. With the expanding interest in green practices, the events hold the potential to position Iran as a hub for sustainable tourism and green investment, reinforcing its commitment to responsible travel and conservation efforts.
