Unsere
mehrjährigen Erfahrungen beim Durchführen von Touren für Touristen aus
verschiedenen Teilen der Welt belegen die Tatsache, dass die Touristen meinen,
die iranische Gastfreundschaft ist eine einzigartige und unverkennbare
Besonderheit.
Durch dieses
charakteristische Merkmal der Iraner ist das Land anziehend für Touristen. Leider
hat die Welt wegen der geringen Zahl an wahren Informationen über den Iran
verschiedene Meinungen darüber, was dort wirklich passiert. Deshalb wollen wir
eine wissenschaftliche Untersuchung durchführen , indem wir Touristen, die den
Iran besuchen, nach ihrer Meinung zur iranischen Gastfreundschaft befragen.
Unsere
Untersuchung basiert auf den Meinungen der Tourisetn, die unsere Agentur im
Zentrum von Shiraz besuchen. Aber damit wir der ganzen Welt die iranische
Gastfreundschaft nachweisen können, bitten wir dringend alle, die in Shiraz sind,
uns bei diesem Projekt zu unterstützen, indem sie uns Hinweise geben. Sie können
uns auch helfen, indem Sie das folgende Formular ausfüllen und mit Ihrem Foto
versehen. Somit werden Sie in unsere Liste aufgenommen.
Comments
: Iran is famous for his glorious monuments, but also for the hospitality of his
people. Those were the reasons why I came
here, and was not disappointed at all. You will always find people ready to help, even taxi drivers... Here, you will understand what is to be a guest.
Comments
: Iran is a very friendly country. There is always somebodyavailable
to help you if you have a problem, and the lack of knowledge of Farsiis not a
barrier, because the people do their best in order to help you, without
expecting
anything in exchange. They can expend much of their time with the onlypurpose of
helping you. However, you have to be cautious about those people whichcan make a
profit lying you, specially taxi drivers and some hotel owners. Prepare toenjoy an
extremely safe country for the tourist, where every problem or doubt gets
resolved
with the
help of the population.

Comments : The best souvenirs that you can bring home from
Iran are memories of people's hospitality and warmth. Several times per day any
tourist can hear "Welcome to Iran". Moreover, you will be invited to a
cup of tea at least by one hundred of Iranians. If you are lucky, you will be a
visitor to somebody's house and will be given an opportunity to spend pleasant
time withtheir family. For a European
it's surprising, for an Iranian it seems to be natural and enjoyable. Thanks to such warm gestures and words, we forgot
to miss our own countries! Motashakkeram!

Comments :
IRAN - THE COUNTRY OF HOSPITALITY.
I could not think of a better place in the world for travel explorations and
unique adventures than in Iran. But first and foremost I will remember the
hospitality of the people.
Based on my experiences during almost 20 years of traveling, I have never got a
stronger feeling of being a guest in a country rather than a tourist. It made me
feel so well meeting all the nice Iranian people both smiling and saying hello
to me. All around in Iran I have been invited to private homes. The Iranians
are really opened minded and have a good heart. Visiting nomadic tribes in the
mountains will forever be an
unforgettable adventure.
I would like to thank everyone in Iran who made my tour so successful. Especially
I would like thankthe nomadic tribes as the Bakhtiaris, Qashqais and Lor for
showing their best hospitality. These people are really great. I hope they will
stay strong in the future and manage to retain their uniquelifestyle and
culture.
Go to Iran and you will feel how to be a real guest! The more effort you make to
know the Iranians,the richer your experience will be.
From the bottom of my heart I will just say:
MY MEMORIES ABOUT THE GREAT PEOPLE IN IRAN WILL BURN AS AN INTERNAL FLAME IN MY HEART FOREVER.

comments = We must say that the first
thing that we were positively surprised about when we entered
the Iran
was the Iranian hospitality. On every step you can meet a lot of people who are
prepared to help
you.
Moreover there are also very curious about that where you come from and it isn't
a rare thing that
they
invite you to their home for a dinner just to talk about your country and your
culture. That is why we
are going
to have very nice memory about Iran and their people.
Thank you for those 20 great days in Iran.

comments = Iran has proven to be a
real pearl of the Middle East. Western tourists are still relatively rare and
people are friendly and welcoming and treat the guest as a king wherever
possible.
It appears to be strange that this country is on the same world as the
overdeveloped tourist spots everywhere else.

Comments
= We had heard from other
travelers about Iranian hospitality, but it is something that you have to
experience for yourself. We are half way through our trip at this point and have
been overwhelmed by the friendliness and graciousness of Iranians we have met.
Of course, it is obvious we are foreigners, so many people have come up to us in
the streets to practice their English or just welcome us. When we tell people we
are from the United States, they are often surprised, but make sure that we
understand that problems between governments are not problems between people and
that we are quite welcome here. In fact, as there are so few Americans here
people have been especially interested in meeting us. It's been an incredible
experience so far.

When we arrived in Teheran we did not really know how people would react to
us - two women traveling on their own in Iran. At home we had heard some
horror stories.
But up to now we have just had good experiences.
Everybody helps us in the street, everyone is
extremely friendly. We were invited by a lot of
people for a cup of tea or we talked for a while and they did all their best
- arranging bus tickets, finding bakeries, haggling in the bazar...
Iran is definitely the land with the greatest hospitality. Thanks to
everyone!

I have traveled the world, but never received such a warm welcome as in
Iran. The Iranians go out of there way to help, to present you the Iranian
culture, which is very rich, and the Iranian lifestyle. Please come and
experience yourself this warmth and friendliness!
