"Mohammad Reza Dashti Ardakani" Chairman of the Tourism Faction of the Islamic Consultative Assembly;
In the 2020 budget, the government was obliged to cover the insurance of 2,000 tour guides, but this title was removed from the 2021 budget instead of supporting the country's cultural ambassadors, who are in the worst working conditions due to the spread of the Corona virus.
Since the outbreak of the Corona virus in March 2020, not only have unemployment insurance not been paid to tour guides, but they have been denied insurance coverage in the 2021 budget bill.
