Cinema artists at the celebration of Hafez 2023

Tourism and the local economy

Any community with a successful film festival prides itself in the artistic, cultural and commercial kudos a festival brings. For a local community, it’s not just the red carpet and all the hype surrounding a festival. It’s the jobs the festival creates, the hospitality provided to visitors and the buzz around the commercial establishments in the festival area. Not to mention the hotels, snacks and meals festival attendees use while at the festival.
