The four-day cultural events, were attended by hotels, travel agencies and investors as well as artisans from different provinces in over 176 stalls, CHTN reported. According to Abolfazl Mokarramifar, head of the provincial office of Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization, this year's events were exceptionally lively and active. "The hand-made works of art in numerous fields were specially spotlighted reflecting the fact that the artisans have bridged the gap between the art of old times and that of today," the official said.
