country, Iran has a lot to offer nature lovers and eco-tourists
Eco-lodge units in rural areas and the heart of nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, smoke, and pollution, could free people
from the chaos and turmoil of modern life.In recent years, several historical mansions and rural houses across the country have been
repurposed into eco-lodge units to attract more domestic and foreign tourists.The houses represent the indigenous culture, local customs,
traditions, and stories, while the guests are served delicious food with local ingredients.The growing tendency of tourists to experience
indigenous and local cultures has made them want to get closer to natural and indigenous living conditions, experiencing the old-fashioned
2018 that 2,000 eco-lodges will be constructed nationwide until 2021
Experts say each eco-lodge unit generates jobs for seven to eight people on average, so the scheme could create 160,000 jobs.Having a very
diverse natural setting, Iran offers varied excursions to nature lovers
Sightseers may live with a nomad or rural family or enjoy an independent stay
The country is home to abundant historical mansions, caravanserais, bathhouses, madrasas, and other massive monuments, which can buttress
its budding tourism and hospitality sectors if managed appropriately and refurbished properly.ABU/AM
