Kish Free Zone Organization recently banned certain vehicles, including Pride, Paykan, vans, buses, and yellow taxis, from entering the island. The organization implemented this measure to manage traffic, reduce vehicle load, and improve the island’s quality of life, reflecting ongoing Kish developments.

According to Jadeh Makhsoos news agency, Kish Island has experienced eventful and diverse days over the past two weeks. It saw a range of activities. These included economic and exhibition events, cultural and archaeological shifts, and urban management decisions.

Economically, Kish hosted the 12th International Exchange, Bank, and Insurance Exhibition (KishINVEX 2025). It also held the 14th Iran Marine Industries and Maritime Exhibition. These events transformed Kish into a hub for economic and maritime professionals for several days.

Domestic and international companies participated in these events. Their focus on investment, maritime trade, and international cooperation highlighted Kish’s continued role. The island remains one of the country’s most important economic and financial hubs.

Jadeh Makhsoos reports that alongside economic developments, culture and tourism also experienced dynamic periods. Kish published the call for entries for its Wave Short Film Festival. The island also hosted its 6th Book Fair, featuring hundreds of publishers. Efforts to develop experience-based tourism via handicrafts further enhanced Kish’s cultural standing. These initiatives show Kish aims to evolve from a recreational destination into an active cultural center, part of broader Kish developments.

In cultural heritage, a new season of excavations in the ancient city of Harireh led to the discovery of imported Chinese pottery. These findings re-emphasize Kish’s historical role in maritime trade. They also highlight its ancient ties with East Asia.

Official reports also indicate a significant increase in air traffic at Kish Airport in Aban 1404 compared to the previous year. This includes both flights and passenger numbers. This surge suggests tourism and travel to Kish have revived.

Separately, the Kish Free Zone Organization issued a new directive. It prohibited specific vehicles like Pride, Paykan, vans, buses, and yellow taxis from entering the island. This decision aims to manage traffic, alleviate congestion, and enhance the quality of life for residents.

These combined developments show Kish is undergoing a “multidimensional redefinition.” It strengthens its economy and trade while developing culture, quality tourism, and historical identity. Simultaneously, Kish strives for urban organization and infrastructure improvement. This combination presents a new vision for the island’s future. It integrates economy, culture, and heritage, driven by these Kish developments.
