2019 (English)In: Experiencing Persian Heritage: Perspectives and Challenges / [ed] Antónia Correia, Metin Kozak, Ana Isabel Rodrigues, United Kingdom: Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2019, p. 155-167Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

Hospitality has been an evident characteristic of Iranian society since ancient times. This chapter discusses the meaning of hospitality from the perspective of the cultural and traditional beliefs present in Iranian literature, religious beliefs, and food customs and deliveries. Reviewing the history of hospitality in Iran yields considerable evidence that this tradition dates to ancient times. This chapter shows that Iranian hospitality has been overlooked in research and suggests that exploring diverse aspects of it can aid tourism practitioners identify areas with potential and improve quality of service in its delivery.
