Shiraz مهر, a new cultural and tourism initiative in Fars province, has commenced. Behzad Moridi, the head of cultural heritage, tourism, and handicrafts in Fars province, announced this news and reported that a series of scientific, cultural, literary, sports, and tourism programs will be held over the next 20 days in 37 counties of the province.

Diverse programs for all tastes

Moridi continued: "This program is being held in collaboration with associations, organizations, and NGOs, and our goal is for Shiraz to gain a special status as an important tourist destination." He also referred to the day of memory for Hafez and stated that this event will pay special attention to this great Iranian poet.

The head of cultural heritage in Fars emphasized that during these 20 days, Shiraz will host a series of programs that include free visits to some historical and cultural sites. He identified literary tourism as one of the main focuses of the "Shiraz مهر" programs, stating: "In this period, about 100 literary tourism routes have been defined, and various programs centered around literary and cultural figures will be held."

Holding conferences and special programs

Moridi added: "During this time, literary tourism tours will also be held towards Roozbeh and other destinations related to literary and cultural capacities." Additionally, artistic and musical programs will be held daily near the tomb of Hafez, with cultural and scientific figures participating in these events.

He also mentioned the scientific conference on Hafez and artistic creations, which will be held in collaboration with the Hafez Studies Center. Furthermore, the national tourism investment conference, the national health tourism conference, and the "Shiraz مهر" tourism and handicrafts exhibition are also planned for this period. Moridi expressed hope that "Shiraz مهر" will become a magnificent event and that this city will be able to host tourists and enthusiasts from all over the country during this period.

The director general of cultural heritage in Fars concluded by reminding: "Holding similar events titled 'Mahr' in cities like Yazd, Isfahan, Bandar Abbas, and Bushehr shows that the culture, art, and tourism of Shiraz can create a movement beyond the borders of Fars province."
