Corona also virtualized tourism / A tourist who saw 434 cities in Iran – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news

According to the Mehr news agency, quoting the public relations of the “Proposed Package” program, Arash Noor Aghaei, a researcher and tourist guide, attended the “Proposed Package” program last night, January 31st, and referring to his travels, stated that he has been traveling for 17 years. Is busy.

In part of this conversation, he referred to writing travel experiences and said: “Travel inspires me to write and it is as if a revelation is being made to turn texts into books or literary texts.”

Noor Aghaei said about his profession: I travel in two ways, part for the sake of livelihood, which I look at as a job, and part of which is getting lost and we are going to get lost. It is the paradox of travel that you both find yourself and get lost makes you feel good.

He also said about adventure in travel: For me, adventure in travel is mental and only adventure in nature and maybe because of physical problems I can not go to hard work.

Nour Aghaei also mentioned about the magic of travel: Alphonse Gabriel (Austrian geographer and travel writer) says about the deserts of Iran that they are such that once you walk in it, you become enchanted and it does not leave you. I also generalize this charm to the whole trip and I think every trip has a feature.

Regarding corona and its impact on travel, he said: “We come up with alternative ways in every disaster, and during this period, virtual travel became more meaningful.” Many people got in touch with watching and reading movies and so on.

This tourist guide in response to Lavasani’s question, what trip can be considered good? Explained: A journey that has occurred for a reason. Throughout history we have traveled for pilgrimage, trade, war, peace and now for leisure. Motives are different, a good trip means doing well for whatever purpose. Film, music, sculpture for the person who deals with it, whether artist or spectator, is supposed to make the situation better and better than before.

He mentioned about the number of his trips abroad that he has left the country more than 250 times.

Noor Aghaei also said about the cities of the country: it has depth to see, maybe I once said that I have seen everywhere in Iran. We have about 434 cities in the country that I have seen all of them, but this is not very special in terms of quantity, and I have had this chance and opportunity. In the same cities, there are probably villages, monuments and people that I may not have talked to or drank tea from, and there are rivers in which I have not swum, because one of my dreams is to swim in all the rivers in the world.

Pointing out that travel and its customs are learnable about travelers and tourists, he said: “There is a difference between travelers and tourists. We no longer have tourists. We have tourists who are more superficial than travelers.”

In the end, Noor Aghaei said: Saadi, Ferdowsi, Ibn Sina and many of our scholars were travelers. They used to talk about the suffering of travel, but now it is no longer suffering and people travel to get better.
