The virtual tours of Tehran will be updated to allow people who are deaf or hard of hearing better known destinations of the Iranian capital, reports Tehran Times.
“Virtual tours will be produced in such a way that all people could make the best use of them while at home,” Tehran’s deputy tourism chief said on Wednesday, CHTN reported.
“Urban tourism for all should be planned in such a way that people with disabilities could join it, and this trend should be properly observed, both in terms of actual tours and virtual tours,” MortezaAdibzadeh added.
The official noted that hearing-impaired-friendly tours will be available as of the International Day for Monuments and Sites online (May 18).
By illuminating stop-and-go traffic that most of the year dominates downtown Tehran, virtual visitors have at their disposal tours to a rich, matchless patchwork of Iranian history and architecture such as Golestan Palace, Grand Bazaar, Treasury of National Jewels, National Museum of Iran, Glass & Ceramic Museum, Masoudieh Palace, Sarkis Cathedral, Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, Carpet Museum of Iran, just to name a few.
