Head of Travel Agents Guild Association, Hormatollah Rafiei, dismissed as "a rumor" the reports recently circulating on social media of a decision by the Central Bank of Iran to deny foreign currency to outbound tourists.
"We have received no directive from the CBI to stop paying travel foreign currency to tourists," Mehr News Agency quoted Rafiei as saying on Monday.
Travel agencies are not mandated to directly provide foreign money to travelers, so the news of such a directive makes no sense, he said.
