Iran’s northern province of Mazandaran, having great tourist attractions, is a great opportunity to turn into a tourist destination for Kazakh people, said deputy governor of Mangistau region of Kazakhstan, Kulzhanov Kanat Zhanbyruly.
He made the statement on the sidelines of joint economic and investment meeting held on Sunday in Tehran.
He said that the economic and tourism infrastructure of Mazandaran is unique for the development of business relations and the presence of Kazakh tourists, adding that health tourism and specialty doctors, as well as tourist attractions paved the ground for the presence of foreign tourists in the province.

“Convenient tourism and visa-free travel in Mazandaran are among our plans,” said Zhanbyruly.
“We will use the capacity of Mazandaran’s knowledge-based companies as well as the production units to broaden our experiences, the Kazakh official noted.
In addition, Hassan Kheirianpour, deputy governor-general for coordinating economic affairs in Mazandaran, said that the province is ready to have joint investments in the fields of economics, infrastructure and engineering.
Establishing communication with neighboring countries is one of the main programs of provincial officials for economic development and growth, he pointed out.
The provincial official said that some commercial agreements were signed between the province and Kazakhstan, adding that Iran is making attempts to implement these agreements.
Stating that Mazandaran is one of Iran’s tourist-friendly provinces, he called for visa waiver for Kazakh tourists.
