Iran’s Tourism Roadshow – Southeast Asia 2024 introduced the most authentic images of the Islamic republic to Vietnamese travel firms, helping them understand more about Iran and further promote cultural and tourism relations between Iran and Vietnam.

According to Ali Akbar Nazari, Ambassador of Iran to Vietnam, ancient historical relics, world heritage sites registered by UNESCO, and beautiful natural landscapes of Iran are all tourist destinations attractive to international travelers, including Vietnamese tourists.

He said both Iran and Vietnam boast great potential and opportunities to increase tourism cooperation as they have beautiful natural landscapes imbued with distinct cultural identities.

Taking the floor, Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Hoang Dao Cuong recalled that his ministry successfully organized a series of activities and events in August 2023 introducing the image of the country, people, and cultural tourism of Vietnam in Iran, thereby bringing the two countries’ peoples closer together, understanding each other and loving each other.
