Iran has developed a new tourism policy as per which the country plans to liberalize norms for foreign tourists visiting. They will now be able to maintain religious freedom. This is a push to increase tourism jobs as presently oil and petroleum industry is the primary source of revenue. This is a source drying up and with global oil prices at all time low, the economy has to diversify. Business research has shown that less than one percent of global tourism revenue comes to Iran and the target of three percent has been set. Cultural and historical sites form top priority.
