Kish Island, known as Persian Gulf Pearl, is an oval island with the area of
89.7 km2 (156 km x 7 km). Kish is located in south west of Bandar Abbass.
In
1970 Kish Island was visited by an Iranian-American committee; suitable
geographical and strategic location led to the establishment in 1972 of the Kish
Free Zone Organization in order to attract tourists.
Kish Free Zone
Organization aimed at developing the touristic area in Kish Island on the model
of Hawaii and southern part of Mediterranean Sea islands with a large
investment, which was completed before the revolution. After victory of the
revolution, the Kish Free Zone Organization was stopped.
In March 1980 the
Revolution Council passed a new legislation for trading and developing the
southern area by new custom tariff conditions. However the difficulties in the
following years of the revolution did not permit this legal authority to act.
Finally in 1989 the Council of Ministers proclaimed Kish Island as a free zone
area in order to import, export, re-export and produce commodities; from that
time financial activities resumed in Kish Island. Eventually in 1992 a new life
was given to the island by launching the Kish Free Zone Organization and the age
of fast development began.
