Introduce the purpose of Iran’s cultural and tourist attractions to visitors and guide them to get acquainted with the Iranian pavilion.

Ali Asghar Shalbafian Explaining that the sending of tourist guides to the Expo is part of the implementation of a targeted visit to the Iranian pavilion plan: (Early October) I traveled to Dubai in the early days of the opening of the Expo. One of the highlights of this important international event; How to attend and visit the countries pavilion. In such a way that several people were present at the entrance of the desired booth and were directed to the different sections of the desired booth with the explanations and guidance of trained and specialized guides.

The researcher of creative industries stated: What will be the benefit for us to praise and glorify only the splendor of the Dubai Expo, what will be the result of our grace from the expo? The UAE and Dubai, which in decades have built none of the world economic centers in the heart of the Middle East, are sure to host the expo well, in the first two months with all the difficult conditions that Corona has created to visit, but visitors and audiences from Has attracted the farthest corners of the globe.

It is not because of jealousy that they praise the appearance and order of the World Expo, but it’s the success of others. Provide a group of activists, specialists and elites in the field of cultural technologies, including the fashion and clothing industry, handicrafts, game industry, animation and architecture … especially those who are fluent in English, Arabic and French. Even if part of the travel expenses are provided and travel facilities are provided to these groups, it is a long-term investment.
