Iran has come a step closer to form a ministry of cultural heritage, handicrafts and tourism, with its Guardian Council entrusted to impose legislation in the Islamic Republic giving its approval on Monday.
The Guardian Council approved a bill to form a ministry in place of the existing Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization for boosting Iran’s tourism industry.
The bill had been agreed upon by lawmakers in the parliament already (Majlis), but it gained the approval of the Guardian Council of late.
For the time being, tourism affairs in Iran is run by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization, whose head is appointed by the president and is acted as the vice-president.
Under provision I of the bill, properties, facilities and human resources already in possession of the organization will be handed over to the new ministry.
Provision II specifies the responsibilities and tasks of the ministry in conformity with the responsibilities of the cultural heritage organization. The government would need to present any changes in duties of the new ministry to the Majlis within a year.
Provision III says that any increase in the number of human resources, facilities and financial dealings at the new ministry will be prohibited during the implementation of the sixth development plan.
