A team of experts from the United Nations World Tourism Organization arrived in Hamedan on May 2 for a preliminary meeting to discuss the scheduled programs for the city's hosting of the UNWTO's 40th Plenary Session of the Affiliate Members planned for November 12 to 14. Held annually, the Plenary Session provides the ideal setting for Affiliate Members to discuss the yearly program of work and collaborate on the establishment of partnerships and joint initiatives.
The Armenian capital Yerevan and the city of Chengdu in China hosted the 2016 and 2017 events respectively and it will be held in Hamedan this year.  To make sure the event will be run smoothly, the three-member team made an on-site visit to the designated conference halls and reviewed the conditions for holding pre- and post-session tours and the process of establishing a special office building with the required equipment for the UNWTO officials, IRNA reported.
"Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization has tasked Alisadr Tourism Company to organize the event as planned by UNWTO," Hamidreza Yari, the company's CEO said. According to Yari, the preparations have entered the operational phase. 
"Invitations have been sent to guests and arrangements are underway for visa issuance, hotel reservation, Tehran-Hamedan transportation and tours of the city before and after the event," Yari added.
