Read more from Ashkan :
I started my career in tourism industry in 2006 with Fars Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization in Persepolis and then I fell in love with this job and I followed it until today .what I do believe about my job is that guiding the tourists in a country like Iran is not just about explaining the history and architecture of this beautiful country but it is also a great responsibility to give the tourists the right image and accurate perception of this unknown country and its great people and clean the minds of tourists from what they have heard in the medias. Iran was and always is and will be the land of kindness and friendship and Iranians will practically show you the real concept of hospitality. If you are asking your friends about travelling to Iran and looking for the “YES” answer you are wasting your time. Do not hesitate more than this. Be brave and make the right decision. Buy your ticket and meet us in Iran, experience Iranians life style and see the real Iran with your own eyes then you are the one that everybody wants to hear your stories in Iran and I promise you that your tears will be shed while you are trying to convince your friends that Iran and Iranians are not like what we think. Do not lose your chance of visiting this fascinating country.
Hope to see you in Iran.
