10 Iran's Attractive Desert Eco Camps
As an emerging branch of tourism in Iran, ecotourism is lately growing more popular among lovers of Mother Nature and those fond of ancient cultures. The term is defined by the International Ecotourism Society as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the welfare of local people." It is intended as a low-impact and often small-scale alternative to standard commercial mass tourism and its purpose is to conserve natural areas and the environment and improve the well-being of locals. The emerging industry requires a variety of platforms and strategies to prosper, including extensive advertising of the indigenous settlements, maintaining roads in tourist attraction areas, and, most importantly, the establishment of ecolodges.
