The Second Turkmen-Iranian Tourism Festival united representatives from the two states’ tourism industry, cultural figures, and craftsmen.
The opening ceremony was held in the Exhibition Hall of the Academy of Arts of Turkmenistan in Ashgabat. During the ceremony, visitors familiarized themselves with Iran’s rich tourism potential, saw the works of Iranian craftsmen, and evaluated the proposals of Turkmen tourist companies.
The festival’s business program included a professional conference. Experts discussed the prospects of bilateral cooperation and new opportunities for increasing tourist flow between the countries.
The organizers paid special attention to the cultural component of the event. The festival is designed to strengthen cultural ties between Turkmenistan and Iran and create a platform for the development of joint tourism projects.
Earlier, the Academy of Arts of Turkmenistan exhibition hall hosted the opening of the Turkmen-Iranian Specialized Exhibition of Fashion and Clothing.
