Iran: Strait of Hormuz disruption hits Hormuz Island tourism
More than two months into the US-Israel war on Iran, disruption in the Strait of Hormuz is continuing and is being linked to wider economic pressure.
A new report says the effects are now being felt beyond shipping lanes, including on tourism on Hormuz Island.
The report says residents on Hormuz Island remain anchored amid uncertainty.
It does not give a figure for visitor losses, but says the island's tourism sector is taking a major hit.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most sensitive shipping routes, so any prolonged disruption can affect trade and energy markets well beyond Iran.
The report says the strain is deepening globally as the situation continues.
The focus of the report is on secondary economic effects rather than a new strike or military development.
It points to the knock-on impact on local livelihoods in an area already exposed to the wider conflict.
Hormuz Island sits close to the strait and is part of the immediate economic geography affected by shipping disruption.
