Hotel New - The impact of the
earthquake and Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action on the reduction of 50 percent of the demand for hotels
in Tehran
"The
demand for accommodation in hotels across the country has dropped dramatically
since last month, and we have faced a 50% drop in demand in Tehran," said Deputy
of the Hoteliers Union of Tehran.
The
Ghaffarian emphasized the impact of the tourism and hotel industry on the
country's economic and political situation and said: "The decline in demand
for accommodation in capital hotels depends on a number of factors, including
the issue of earthquakes and challenges of Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action."
He
said: "The standardization of Tehran hotels has been a very good
occurrence that began several years ago, and now it has operated more than 95
percent in cooperation with the Hotelists' Union and the Office of Cultural
Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Tehran.
"Hotel
industry with more than 100 categories is involved in the purchase of goods and
services," said Ghaffarian, in another part of his remarks regarding the
increase in hotel and accommodation costs. “Consequently,
changes in the market also affect the cost of services in hotels.”
