A total of 5,900,381 Iranians traveled overseas during the nine months of the current Iranian year (March 21-Dec. 21, 2018), indicating a 30.45% decline compared with the same period of last year, according to director for planning and support of Iran Cultural Heritage, Handicraft and Tourism Organization's Tourism Development Office, Leyla Ajdari.
Turkey, Iraq, the UAE, Azerbaijan and Georgia are Iranians' top travel destinations.
"The number of Iranian citizens' traveling overseas has at least halved in recent months due to skyrocketing prices caused by a freefalling national currency," Morteza Qorbani, secretary of Iran Flight Services Guild Association, said in October.
