Development of valuable industry of tourism in impassable regions requires serious determination of the government in the area of preparing the infrastructures such as access roads, allocating energy resources etc. 

Tourism based on customs of Iranian kinfolks can play a significant role due to its various attractions to attract foreign tourists which definitely will develop local micro-economy.

Iran’s provinces have extravagant precious capacity in terms of its nature, traditional arts, ancient areas, historical places and religious center, it requires a precise and expertized planning. Emotional and prejudiced behaviors shall be avoided in this regard. 

I believe that the government can make use of the economists with sustainable tourism approach and also benefitting from the experts in the field of planning and statistics in order to monitor the plan for development of traditional regions in cities and villages which will result in mobilizing knowledge-based activists in tourism industry. 
Fortunately, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran has a positive tendency toward tourism, and has always been providing effective guidelines in this regard; therefore, for all the country, either governmental or non-governmental, it deems required to take a step with various and legal mechanisms to materialize his commands. i.e. entrepreneurship and development of economy based on the framework of the Islamic Republic of Iran. 

I contemplate that the state is going to believe civil foundations and NGOs in expanded scale, and the only thing that makes the work harder and sometimes creates hindrances is the attitude of some directors at middle and lower levels who consider non-governmental sections as obtrusive, and threatening on some occasions; while constantly we have seen, heard and read that senior directors of the country have supported non-governmental sections, particularly civil foundations.

Training is the missing ring of tourism. For sustainable development in this pleasurable industry, we must get involved with public training as well as training those working in this area. No one can claim sustainable development and take a wrong path since training is one of the most major and fundamental ways necessary for sustainable development of tourism.
