Blocked Iranian Travel Agencies Get Back Online

Some 180 online hospitality agencies whose websites were blocked due to a judicial order are back online after the ICT Ministry censured the blockade as heavy-handed and wrong.
Last week, following a media frenzy over online travel agencies overcharging customers, the judiciary issued an order whose enforcement made the website of 180 e-travel agencies inaccessible. Since then and following a public backlash and ICT Ministry's mounting pressure on the judiciary, the ban has been removed, Peivast reported.
