Legal and Economic Impact of the Impact of Sanctions on the Tourism Industry

Economic sanctions were seen as a means of pressure and domination and a substitute for military action, and included a set of economic, commercial, diplomatic, and other measures that attempt to overthrow the government or individuals that violate the principles and rules governing their relations. They have been violated by other nations, deterred from their wrongdoing, and forced to change their behavior. The US withdrawal from sanctions and the debate over the return of sanctions have led many industry activists to worry about whether sanctions have a negative impact on their operations. The tourism industry is no exception, and activists are worried that recent political and economic events will have a negative impact on two sectors of tourism; one related to the influx of foreign tourists, and the second relates to the development of tourism infrastructure. Statistics show that in the first year of the year, we experienced a 5% increase in incoming tourists compared to previous years. In year 2, it reached its highest historical level ever since, the figure of 6 million. The number of foreign tourists who visited Iran this year decreased by 4.6 percent, to 4.8 million, with the worst decline in tourism recorded in the country. That year, the United States and the European Union also tightened sanctions on Iran, and the Security Council stepped up its sanctions. This continued for the second year as a result of the re-registration of negative growth in tourist arrivals. This year, only 3.7 million foreign tourists entered Iran. But then, in years 1 and 2, sheets returned and tourism came out of recession. Since that time, despite the continuation of the sanctions and sometimes their intensification, the mentality of Iran's insecurity for other tourists has faded.
