With proper marketing, it is entirenly possible that we can increase this number,” a board spokespersons told “Ten million Iranians travel aboard every year- some twice annually. Turkey attracts approximately 1,5 million Iranian tourists every year.

“They are discovering that there is more to Cyprus than the east of the island where their flights land.”
