Since the lifting of international sanctions under last year’s nuclear deal, Iranian government has made tourism a top priority for rebuilding Iran’s struggling economy.

Visitor numbers to Iran have already boomed in recent years thanks to a partial thaw in the country’s relations with the world, rising from 2.2 million annually in 2009 to 5.2 million in 2015.

Under the 20-year Outlook Plan, Iran is expected to host 20 million foreign tourists in 2025 in order to generate $30 billion a year. That means the country should build 20 four- or five-star hotels each year over the course of the next decade.

Iran has currently 1,125‭ ‬hotels and guest houses‭, ‬of which only 130‭ ‬are four‭- ‬and five-star establishments‭. ‬The goal is to increase the number of quality hotels to 400‭ within 10‭ ‬years.

Earlier, an Iranian top tourism official said the country is constructing 125 luxury hotels , stressing that the figure is a record in the Iranian hospitality industry.

According to a forecast by Euromonitor International, Iran will probably have almost 900 hotels within five years, compared with 768 now . Lodging revenue is set to increase about 25 percent during that time, the firm predicts, as the number of visitors is forecast to grow by a similar percentage to 6.3 million.‬
