Further Upgrade in the Cards for Sassanid Cities

Urban and travel infrastructure in the three Iranian cities which are home to the Sassanid Archaeological Landscape in Fars Province will be promoted to reach higher standards, after the ensemble was inscribed on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites last week.
Negotiations for the development plans were conducted during the sixth session of Fars Tourism Working Group held on Wednesday.  The participants discussed the ways to promote the cities as prospective popular destinations, CHTN reported. 
Speaking at the meeting, Mohsen Alavi, governor of Firouzabad County, highlighted the necessity of developing lodging facilities for foreign and domestic tourists and called for the involvement of private investors to help accelerate to progress. 
"The ancient cities are already appropriate for visitors but the quality of accommodation must be upgrades to a level that a global heritage site deserves," Alavi noted.
