Trump's travel ban not affecting Iran

'Those interested in Iran don’t pay any attention to US President [Donald Trump]'s remarks; they have traveled around the world and wish to travel to Iran, too,' said Ebrahim Pourfaraj on Monday.

Pourfaraj said that tourism has grown in Iran, and few tourists are worried about the consequences of travelling to Iran.

Before entering Iran, foreign tourists' biggest concern is security, but when they come to Iran they see a different thing from what they had in mind, and 'they sometimes prolong their stay,' said Pourfaraj.

WTM issued a report about the impacts of Trump's travel ban order on US tourism on Monday saying that 40% of the tourism companies have lost interest in relations with the US, and only 15% are interested in expanding tourism ties with the US.
