TEHRAN – Iranian president Hasaan Rouhani has said Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari, which is currently an under-the-radar destination, has [enormous] potential to become the biggest tourism hub of the country, CHTN reported on Monday.

“This province could be turned into the biggest tourism hub of the country,” the president said talking about the tourism potentials of the western province.

Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari has various traditions and rituals related to tribal lifestyles. Special forms of music, dance, and clothing are noteworthy. It has considerable potential to become a vibrant tourist attraction because of its changing natural landscape.
