The Iranian Ministry of Tourism launches 'travel card' installment initiative

The Iranian Ministry of Tourism has announced that starting next week, special 'travel cards' will be launched, allowing citizens to finance vacation expenses through long-term installments. The initiative, which has been widely reported by channels such as خبر فوری جنگ ایران and آخرین خبر, is intended to encourage domestic tourism by easing the burden of immediate payment.

According to the reports, as stated by the Ministry of Tourism and published in آخرین خبر, the cards will allow citizens to pay for travel costs in installments without any interest. The move is presented as an economic tool to encourage consumption in the leisure sector. The report in اقتصاد امروز emphasized that there will be no "ceiling" (cap) on the credit amount on the card, with the credit limit determined according to the "individual's banking history."

The initiative has received extensive coverage in a number of local and news channels, including خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری, آخرین خبر خوزستان, and خراسان آنلاین. While these sources tend to cover government policy in a matter-of-fact manner, the reports emphasize the accessible aspect of the new solution, focusing on the advantage of having no interest on long-term loans.

The decision reflects an institutional effort to revitalize the local tourism industry, using the banking system as a platform to provide relief to citizens. No further details have been released regarding the specific financial entities that will implement the cards, but official sources at the Ministry of Tourism confirm that the nationwide rollout will begin within a few days.
