The city of Van was a popular shopping destination for our Iranian brothers and sisters. However, besides Van, summer tourism is also in demand especially in areas like Antalya Mersin, in recent years . On the other side, cultural tours organized to Iran, have become increasingly popular in Turkey. The re-activation of the Tahran-Ankara railway and the integration of the Turkish and Iranian railway system will affect our trade as well as accelerate our cultural integration.
