The decision to cancel tourism tax was made by Mashhad City Council, weeks after the announcement of a new regulation levying taxes on foreigners visiting the religious city, ISNA reported.

As per the law, non-Iranian visitors had to pay €10 when entering the city only once during an Iranian year.

Nearly three million foreigners travelled to Mashhad during the last Iranian year (March 2017-18), Financial Tribune reported.
