Security, quality of services and hospitality are three main characteristics of sustainable tourism industry encouraging European tourists to come to Iran, he said.

Enemies tried to minimize visit to Iran and the policy failed as US President Donald Trump’s migration law did, but some people inside the county through storming Saudi embassy harmed Iran’s interests, IRNA cited him.

Storming Saudi embassy struck a heavy blow on Iran's pilgrim tourists and dropped the figure from the annual 1.7 million tourists to 266,000 last year, he said.
