Iran IR: International Tourism: Number of Arrivals data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Iran – Table IR.World Bank.WDI: Tourism Statistics. International inbound tourists (overnight visitors) are the number of tourists who travel to a country other than that in which they have their usual residence, but outside their usual environment, for a period not exceeding 12 months and whose main purpose in visiting is other than an activity remunerated from within the country visited. When data on number of tourists are not available, the number of visitors, which includes tourists, same-day visitors, cruise passengers, and crew members, is shown instead. Sources and collection methods for arrivals differ across countries. In some cases data are from border statistics (police, immigration, and the like) and supplemented by border surveys. In other cases data are from tourism accommodation establishments. For some countries number of arrivals is limited to arrivals by air and for others to arrivals staying in hotels. Some countries include arrivals of nationals residing abroad while others do not. Caution should thus be used in comparing arrivals across countries. The data on inbound tourists refer to the number of arrivals, not to the number of people traveling. Thus a person who makes several trips to a country during a given period is counted each time as a new arrival.; ; World Tourism Organization, Yearbook of Tourism Statistics, Compendium of Tourism Statistics and data files.; Gap-filled total;

Sports tours are a key category of tourism with special interest whose evolution and development are influenced by a variety of limiters and facilitators. Research literature recommends exploring these factors. Therefore, our goal was to present a grounded theory about the development of sports tours in Iran’s tourism industry. For this purpose, we considered Glaser’s approach and conducted 15 interviews with experts in the field of tourism and sports tours who worked under the supervision of the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Heritage of Iran. The data were analyzed using the Glaser’s approach principles. The developed theory from this study showed that the development of sports tours is an structure that stops moving under the influence of inhibitors such as financial, political, security, structural, and organizational issues, and travels the path of perfection and progress through facilitators such as natural attractions, the role of the media, the role of tour guides, the quality of services, information technology, support, culture, and training, and the human force. Based on this result, it can be said that the development and evolution of sports tours in Iran are influenced by various determinants, and it is important to remove the limiting factors and strengthen the factors that play a facilitating role in the development of sports tours.

Saffron Harvest Tourism Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the saffron harvest tourism market size reached USD 1.14 billion in 2024, driven by growing interest in agro-tourism and experiential travel. The global market is projected to expand at a robust CAGR of 7.9% from 2025 to 2033, reaching a forecasted value of USD 2.28 billion by 2033. This remarkable growth is fueled by increasing consumer demand for authentic travel experiences, rising awareness of saffron’s cultural significance, and expanding initiatives by saffron-producing regions to promote harvest-based tourism.

The primary growth factor for the saffron harvest tourism market is the rising consumer preference for immersive and authentic travel experiences. Modern travelers, especially millennials and Gen Z, are seeking opportunities to engage directly with local cultures and traditional agricultural practices. Saffron, being one of the world’s most precious spices, offers a unique blend of cultural heritage, agricultural education, and culinary exploration. Destinations in Iran, India, Spain, and Morocco have capitalized on this trend, developing specialized tours that allow visitors to participate in the saffron harvest, learn about its history, and sample saffron-infused cuisine. The integration of storytelling, hands-on harvesting, and culinary workshops has elevated saffron harvest tourism into a premium experiential segment within the wider agro-tourism industry.

Another significant driver is the proactive role of regional governments and tourism boards in promoting saffron harvest tourism as a tool for rural development and cultural preservation. These entities are investing in infrastructure, marketing campaigns, and training programs to support local farmers and tour operators. By positioning saffron harvest tourism as a sustainable alternative to mass tourism, regions are able to attract high-spending tourists while preserving traditional agricultural landscapes and practices. Additionally, international organizations and NGOs are partnering with local communities to ensure that tourism revenues contribute directly to rural livelihoods, further incentivizing participation and innovation within the sector.

The rise of digital platforms and online travel agencies has also played a crucial role in the expansion of the saffron harvest tourism market. Travelers now have easier access to information about saffron-producing regions, tour packages, and booking options. Social media influencers and travel bloggers are amplifying the appeal of saffron harvest experiences by sharing visually rich content, which in turn drives organic interest and demand. The availability of virtual tours, detailed itineraries, and real-time customer reviews enables travelers to make informed decisions, increasing confidence in booking specialized agro-tourism experiences. This digital transformation is expected to continue shaping the market, making saffron harvest tourism accessible to a broader global audience.

Regionally, the market exhibits strong growth in traditional saffron-producing countries such as Iran, India, Spain, and Morocco, with emerging interest in regions like Italy and Greece. Europe and the Middle East collectively account for over 60% of global market revenue in 2024, owing to their rich saffron heritage and well-established tourism infrastructure. Asia Pacific, led by India and Iran, is witnessing a surge in both domestic and international tourists, supported by government initiatives and improved connectivity. North America and Latin America are gradually entering the market, primarily through niche travel agencies and culinary tourism networks. As awareness grows and more regions invest in agro-tourism, the global saffron harvest tourism market is expected to achieve greater geographic diversification and resilience.
