The British Foreign Office has relaxed its travel advice for Iran, now considering the vast majority of the country safe for British travelers, according to The Daily Telegraph.
Until July 25, the British government advised against travel to the whole of Iran, but changed its recommendations partly because of “decreasing hostility under President Rouhani’s government.”
The change comes just weeks after an historic deal on Iran’s nuclear program was struck between western powers and the Iranian government, under which sanctions against the Middle Eastern country will be lifted in exchange for limitations to its nuclear program.
The advisory change is good news for those working in Iran’s tourism industry, and for tourists who until now struggled to find adequate travel insurance for trips to the country. Many policies are invalid for visits to regions or countries to which the Foreign Office advises against travel.
