The President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has permitted tourists to visit nuclear sites across the country sending his clear message that Iran’s atomic efforts are only for peace reasons. President Ahmadinejad authorized the relevant authorities to open nuclear sites for tourists without indicating the number of facilities that can be used for sightseeing nor the way of doing so. Furthermore he hasn’t indicated the exact date for the opening of nuclear plants to tourists.

Possible ‘nuclear attractions’ are considered the uranium conversion facility outside Isfahan, the uranium enrichment plant in Natanz or the Islamic republic`s first nuclear plant being built in the southern city of Bushehr.

This unprecedented action would become a positive injection to the Iranian tourism product as it is certainly something different from the all other known tourism products around the globe and excites the curiosity. So far only United Nations watchdog and reporters have been allowed to the facilities.
