The mayor of Shiraz metropolis, explaining the municipality's approach in defining investment packages, stated: Our focus has not only been on issuing commercial licenses and building passageways; Organizing disturbing and polluting jobs and moving them out of the city has also been one of the focus points in compiling these packages.

Stating that the investment opportunities are translated into several languages and provided to the applicants, Esadi said: The Investment and People's Partnerships Organization of Shiraz Municipality is in charge of introducing capacities, negotiating with investors and following up on cooperation.

He considered facilitation of affairs and removal of obstacles as one of the most important expectations of investors and stated: Investors expect their work to progress quickly and the problems of the implementation path to be resolved. Specialized meetings to remove investment obstacles have also been held with the same goal, so that obstacles can be identified and removed one by one.

Pointing to the welcome of domestic participants and the presence of guests from 13 countries at the exhibition, he added: this presence should be taken as a good omen and use the opportunity provided to introduce Shiraz, invite interested parties and attract investors.

Esadi emphasized: The exhibition should lead to the formation of executive cooperation beyond the introduction of capacities; Agreements should be reached and people should see their fruits in the economic prosperity of the city and their daily lives.

He also pointed to the city's hosting of specialized meetings of urban managers in various fields, and emphasized the role of events in the prosperity of the urban economy and said: holding exhibitions and specialized gatherings can be effective in increasing the attendance of guests and the prosperity of the city's economic activities.

Esadi considered the development of tourist attractions as a way to increase the longevity of travelers and stated: Shiraz is known for the tombs of Hafez and Saadi, the Holy Shrine, and its historical and cultural context; The city management has also tried to provide additional facilities to these valuable properties by creating new attractions.

He added: "The Blue City is on the threshold of operation, and the implementation of the aquarium and cable car has also started." We have pursued several amusement parks, three of which have been completed.

Referring to the completion of the Zandiyeh project and the Municipal Museum, the acquisition and opening of the Garden of Life, and the preparation of the Shiraz Encyclopedia and Symphony, the mayor of Shiraz said: These actions are complementary to the city's centuries-old achievements and can provide the basis for citizens to benefit more from the city's facilities and tourists to stay longer.
