criticisms of the Executive Director of the Iranian Hoteliers Community on how the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran works against hoteliers
The manager of the Iranian Hoteliers Community, in a report on Hotel Directors' emphasis on “two rates for hotels”, said: despite many adversaries even in the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran, hotel management has become an enduring and challenging job due to increased and abnormal costs. On the other hand, the hotel's pricing is not free in Iran, and it is totally within the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran’ discretion. Referring to the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran’ instructions on the issue of room rates for foreigners which can be in foreign currencies, Abbas Bidgoli said: "Visitors should pay attention to the Nima system for foreign currencies, which is a significantly different in exchange rate with the free market in Iran. They should be aware of all people who offer them hotel discounts instead of exchanging currencies for them! He argued that the only offer by the Iranian hoteliers’ community to the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran is to make a rule for hotels to receive room rates at foreign currencies. If this offer is not applicable, at least they should let hotels be free to change the currencies themselves based on free market and out of NIMA system. He continued: "The costs of goods and energy carriers, including water, electricity and gas have been multiplied in hotels, but hoteliers do not want to compensate this increase by increasing rates.
