February 18, 2026Image generated with AiThe tourism landscape in Northern Iran is currently undergoing significant change. In a strategic move to professionalise and organise regional travel, 26 different tourism events from Golestan province have been officially added to Iran’s National Tourism Events Calendar. The provincial Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts Department is spearheading this initiative to ensure that the region’s cultural wealth receives the recognition it deserves.Formalising these gatherings creates a structured framework for the transition from spontaneous local celebrations to world-class tourism attractions. This systemic shift aims to create a more professional environment for event-based travel, ensuring that each visitor encounters the region’s authentic spirit through the lens of organised hospitality and cultural integrity.Strategic Objectives for Regional DevelopmentThe integration of these events into the national register is driven by several multifaceted goals. Primarily, the strengthening of event-based tourism is sought to create a sustainable economic model for local communities. Furthermore, the distribution of travel is intended to be spread more evenly throughout the calendar year, mitigating the pressures of seasonal overcrowding while providing a steady stream of revenue for the province.Through this measure, the diverse cultural, natural, and economic capacities of Golestan are being introduced to a wider audience. By elevating these local traditions to a national platform, the province is positioned as a year-round destination. This strategic planning is expected to improve the overall quality of event execution, as a more coherent foundation for management and logistics is now provided by the national recognition.AdvertisementA Tapestry of Festivals: From Silk to StallionsAmong the most …
