Request of the city council from experts to achieve tourism goals in Tehran
According to Fars News Agency’s urban correspondent, during the meeting of the Chairman of the Tourism Committee of the Sixth Tehran City Council with experts in this field, issues such as ignoring the identity of Tehran and Rey, unknown tourist places for Tehran citizens, lack of specialized museum for Rey and Tehran and also look The administration was introduced to the cultural and tourist places of the capital.
Seyed Ahmad Alavi, Chairman of the Tourism Committee of the Sixth Council of Tehran, met with experts in the field of tourism in the capital this morning. In this leak, Professor Nasrollah Haddadi, a specialist in the field of Tehranology, Dr. Ahmad Abu Hamzeh, Professor of History of Rey and Tehran, Reza Dabirinejad, director of the Malek Museum, Alireza Alamnejad, a specialist in the field of Tehran tourism, and Mohammad Yazdani, president of the Tehran Tourist Guides Association They expressed their views and opinions on tourism in Tehran.
Tehran buildings do not have Iranian and Islamic identities
During the exchange of expert opinions, Nasrullah Haddadi, a prominent Tehranologist, stated that the tourism situation in Tehran should be taken out of the state of confusion: “Tehran is a city of lost identity, which is being insisted on moment by moment.”
He attributed this loss of identity to social change and said: “Unfortunately, there is a strange insistence behind the scenes to forget Tehran’s identity. For example, during the last 40 years, no building in Tehran has been built with Iranian and Islamic architecture.”
Referring to the multiple tourism management in Tehran and criticizing this issue, the prominent Tehranologist said: “Everything that has been done to create Tehran’s identity until today has been for some people to say” I am “. In the past years, two main activities were carried out for the identity of Tehran. In the first, they gave money to someone to introduce the neighborhoods. Instead, he looked for people. Prepare the neighborhood; In the end, it turned out that Nusrat al-Dawlah was a gentleman. In the second attempt, a 6-volume book was prepared whose contents did not correspond to reality.
He further criticized Tehran’s uncontrolled development and added: How long is Tehran going to develop? Is it thought to supply water to this city? It is true that the level of development has stopped, but we still see the development of the capital in terms of height.
Haddadi presented solutions to overcome the current problems and difficulties and said: “Unless the custodian of tourism in Tehran is a specific device and we continue to witness this current multiple management, the problems will not be solved.” Also, the issue of easy access of people to tourist places in Tehran should be facilitated. The next point is the issue of people leaving Tehran on holidays. It is a tragedy that the love and affection of the people of Tehran is defined outside this city.
He said that many of Tehran’s valuable works are not yet known, adding that Tehran tourism needs a caring expert who works for the development of tourism in the capital, regardless of political, superficial or slogan views. For example, Abdul Wahab Khan’s house next to the house of Shahid Modarres is a masterpiece of architecture, but no one pays attention to it and it is being destroyed. Or the exterior of the house of Moshir al-Dawla Pirnia in Lalehzar, whose paintings and plasters have been stolen and no one is left.
The museum turnover for the city is a forgotten point
Dabirinejad, the director of Malek Museum, also criticized the chaotic situation of museums related to the capital and said: out of 700 museums that we have in the country, 150 are located in Tehran, but except for one or two, the rest have nothing to do with the history of Tehran. .
He said that Tehran needs several museums to narrate the history of the city in a proposal: “We can take museums to the heart of the city.” For example, Baharestan Square has a historical identity and important events have taken place in it. We can turn this square into a museum of Tehranology so that every citizen can get acquainted with the history and events that took place in this square.
“Unfortunately, many of these people only pay attention to the museum’s income, profits and losses, while we have to consider the turnover that a museum brings to our neighborhood or city,” Dabirinejad said, criticizing the economics of museum operators. For example, since the important events took place in Niavaran, the number of restaurants and eateries in that area has increased dramatically and businesses have flourished.
Rashkan Fortress and Cheshmeh Ali have not been registered in the world yet
Following the meeting, Abu Hamzeh, professor of history of Rey and Tehran, also expressed his views and said: “Unfortunately, the main problem is the lack of a single trustee for the tourism sector in Tehran.” On the other hand, unlike other countries, unfortunately, the municipality in Iran does not have much authority and can not take many measures.
“Mr. Dabirinejad said that Tehran does not have more than two museums for itself. I want to say that Tehran has two museums that are 470 years old, but Ray also has a museum that is 7,000 years old. Not for himself.
This professor of Rey history pointed to the valuable and historical monuments of Rey and said: Rashkan fort is 3,000 years old, but after about 20 years since its discovery, where has it reached? In Tehran, more than 200 cultural houses have been purchased by the municipality, but how many of these houses are in Rey? All these actions lead to our question, why is there so much crime in Rey?
Criticizing the wrong plans in the field of tourism, he said: “Some time ago, they brought a plan for Cheshmeh Ali, which is 7,000 years old, to walk there.” In this plan, the whole cultural identity of Cheshmeh Ali was ignored. In the end, it was discovered that the plan was written by a 20-year-old woman who had not even seen Ray once.
Abu Hamza, stating that Ray alone can become a tourism hub, said: “Unfortunately, our friends have sought the world registration of Valiasr Street, but they did nothing to register Rashkan Fortress and Cheshmeh Ali with its history of several thousand years.”
He also criticized the view of the members of the Fifth Council on the subject of Ray and said: “Everything was ready for the opening of this museum, but in April 1400 I was told” because we are not to open “they did not do the work.
Tehran’s historic mosques can be the most important destination for foreign tourists
Alireza Alamnejad, a specialist in Tehran tourism, said that Tehran is so attractive that it keeps tourists busy for 2 weeks: “I can take tourists to Tehran for 2 weeks and show them different places without entering any palace or Let’s become a museum.
Criticizing the lack of integrated management in the field of tourism in Tehran, he added: “One of the important places of tourism in Tehran is the historical mosques of this city such as Shahid Motahari High School Mosque and Sepah Salar Mosque, which unfortunately tourists can not visit due to their uses.” .
He stressed: Tehran is the capital of an Islamic country and it is not beautiful that we can not show the foreign tourists of the mosques, which are our Islamic and historical cultural symbol.
At the end of his speech, Alamnejad referred to the condition of Abul Hassan Khan Saba’s house and criticized the administrative view of tourist places and said: “Go to this house one day intrusively to understand the depth of the tragedy in management.” My other point is that, unfortunately, the custodians of historical and cultural houses have an administrative view of these places, and they close the holidays at home and go on vacation. With these conditions, this is why Tehranians prefer to leave the city on weekends.
Holidays are a good time to attract tourists to Tehran
Mohammad Yazdani, the president of the Tehran Province Tourist Guides Association, also mentioned the lack of specialized training for Tehran tour guides and said: “We need planning for this.”
He called Tehran the largest tourist city in the country and said: “Why do not we use this capacity and all the citizens who leave Tehran as tourists as money to introduce Tehran and its attractions to others.”
In a proposal for the development of tourism in Tehran, Yazdani said: “For example, we can attract tourists from other cities by holding important events during the holidays when Tehran is deserted, so that all guilds have turnover and it does not happen that Tehran whistles during the holidays.” And be blind.
Why do Tehranians spend their free time outside the city?
At the end and after expressing the views of experts and specialists in the field of tourism, Seyed Ahmad Alavi, Chairman of the Tourism Committee of Tehran City Council, also stated that these meetings should be held in a related way and said: Also at the suggestion of the loved ones who were our guests today, to be added to the group.
Referring to the issue of multiple management in Tehran tourism and the concerns expressed by the guests, he added: “I suggest that we first prioritize organizing the management of the departments that are related to the municipality, and then move on to other devices.”
According to Alavi, being the capital has hindered the realization of Tehran’s tourism goals. He said: “I ask you experts to prepare your specialized and comprehensive programs for the realization of tourism in the capital.” This is the reason why the citizens leave the city to spend their free time and do not visit the tourist places of the capital.
Referring to his previous activities in the Cultural Space Development Company and the Cultural Deputy of Region 1, he said: “Since then, we have been concerned about organizing the issues raised today, and God willing, we can do this in the city council.” Do.
The head of the tourism committee pointed out that one of the main programs of the tourism committee of this period of the city council is to identify semi-finished, ongoing or suspended projects in the field of cultural heritage and tourism in Tehran. He added: To be done and exploited.
Alavi continued: “Following up on the revival and introduction of Tehran’s tourist attractions and potentials by using specialized software in this field, as a guide to Tehran tourism by the relevant groups in Tehran Municipality, is one of the short-term and current programs of this committee.”
Another topic raised by the Chairman of the Tourism Committee of Tehran City Council was the special attention to the issue of urban beautification and maintenance of cultural heritage, houses of celebrities, museums, palaces and other buildings of historical and cultural value, which are other programs For the city of Tehran as a city is considered a tourist destination.
He called the increase in GDP, attracting foreign capital, reducing unemployment, reducing poverty and helping to distribute income among the economic benefits of urban tourism prosperity and stressed: “Paying attention to these issues is very important in solving and reducing problems.”
Alavi also called the integration of tourist guide boards, the integration of ticket prices for Tehran Municipality museums among other actions of the Tourism Committee and said: Tehran City Council and urban management should be followed up and approved in this period in order to earn a stable income from The tourism industry achieved.
