Possible Structure of Planned Iran Tourism Ministry Outlined

Ali Asghar Mounesan, head of Iran's cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization, which is set be converted to a ministry, believes the new structure should involve separate divisions for policymaking and administrative affairs.
"My proposal, which has yet to go through expert review, is that the new ministry be composed of a head office and an administrative department, like other ministries," the CHTN quoted Mounesan as saying on Sunday. 
"The ministry should only serve as the headquarters and not double as the administrative center. There need to be three separate administrative arms to aid it in the form of the cultural heritage department, handicrafts department and tourism department," he said.
The bill to convert ICHHTO to a ministry was recently approved by the Parliament.
