Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian inaugurated 246 tourism projects on Sunday, with a total investment of 350 trillion rials, according to a report by IRNA.
The newly opened projects are expected to create approximately 3,200 jobs, according to the report, reflecting the government's stated aim of expanding the tourism sector as part of broader economic development efforts.
Tourism has been identified by Iranian officials as an area with potential for growth and job creation, particularly given the country's historical sites, natural landscapes and cultural attractions. Government-backed investment in tourism infrastructure has featured periodically in Iran's economic planning.
The report did not specify the types of projects included among the 246 inaugurated, such as whether they consisted of hotels, resorts, cultural sites or other tourism-related facilities, nor did it detail their geographic distribution across the country.
Part of broader economic push
The inauguration comes as Iran continues to navigate economic challenges linked to sanctions and broader fiscal pressures, with officials pointing to sectors like tourism as avenues for domestic investment and employment generation.
