Young Journalists Club - Morteza Safari said that due to its historical, natural, and tourism potentials, Hasanlu village was among the top eight villages in the country to be introduced to the global list, but failed to enter the list due to certain infrastructural shortcomings.
He noted that in the previous period, 500 billion Rials were allocated for the development of Hasanlu's infrastructure, and in the current period, another 200 billion Rials in credit has been considered for the completion of these projects.
The Director-General of Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts of West Azerbaijan continued that these funds will be spent on implementing measures such as walling and flooring the path from the archaeological site to the village.
Referring to the implementation of infrastructure projects in two phases, he said that completing these measures in the archaeological site and Hasanlu village increases hopes for the global registration of this monument.
Safari considered the development of accommodation facilities as one of the prerequisites for strengthening Hasanlu's tourism potential, stating that currently, two accommodation units with a total capacity of 40 beds are active in this village, and the construction of two more accommodation units is also underway.
Emphasizing the necessity of private sector participation in the development of regional tourism, he stated that this general administration is ready to provide necessary facilities and support to activists and investors in this field to pave the way for the expansion of tourism activities and the provision of required facilities in Hasanlu village.
The Director-General of Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts of West Azerbaijan also referred to the West Azerbaijan governor-general's visit to Hasanlu village last week, stating that during this trip, the status of the archaeological site and the obstacles facing the village's development were reviewed, and important decisions were made to pursue issues and remove existing barriers.
