2017 Tehran, Iran
The 17th WFTGA Convention in Iran: experience another culture with all five senses.
The pre-tour offered the largest brick dome in the world and the tomb of the legendary Queen Esther and her cousin Mordechai. The post-tour took participants to Shiraz, the city of nightingales and poetry, and to the famous excavations of Persepolis.
For many it was their first time in Iran: finally seeing well-known treasures in reality and learning about one of the oldest cultures in the world, long secluded. It meant astonishment, breaking down walls and prejudices, and, as tourism should, the hope of bringing peace to a region so important for our early cultural development. It truly meant: experience another culture with all five senses!
