Away from town and near natural attractions
The first important thing that makes a local accommodation attractive is its proximity to the famous sights of the village or city we travel to.
< p>Suppose you spend the night in the same forest where you are going to go trekking the next day. Or be just ten minutes away from Hassel Marsh or Arous Lake. Or your accommodation is completely overlooking the view of the Hyrcanian forests or the Zagros foothills or the red beach of Hormuz.Host hosts have good and happy
One of the good features of staying in ecotourism accommodation is that you are no longer a traveler and they call you a guest!
Ecotourism accommodations have the advantage that your host is nearby and lives in a place similar to your accommodation, and you can often talk to them. Ask them about the local life and touch the life in that area up close.
Many hosts even prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner for you, which is the best way to experience local cuisine. Let's say you try grilled fish and fish roe cooked by southern mothers in Qeshm. This is one of those experiences that cannot be found anywhere else.
Have the color and smell of history
They have preserved the local texture and the color and glaze of rural houses
Although tastes are different and maybe someone prefers renting a luxury apartment or one with a swimming pool to local and rural houses, but don't neglect the pleasure of staying in a house that has the texture of the same city.
One of the things that makes eco-tourism accommodations special is the local handicrafts used in its decoration. Items such as rugs, crochet and local fabrics when used to decorate the residence give it a more homely feel. One feels that he belongs there and does not feel like a guest or a stranger.
Traditional northern thatched huts or desert lodges made with the traditional architecture of the same region have another advantage. They also give a better fragrance.
Today, many caravanserais and historical houses have turned into eco-tourism accommodation. It's like traveling to a city to see a historical sight, then realizing you can stay the night and relax.
Many of these residences have historical elements in their architecture. You might not mind getting to know these different architectures. For example, staying in desert lodges that have windbreaks and feeling the air flow that passes through them to cool the house. Or the effect of straw and clay on the humidity and coolness of an old house. In these residences, you can closely understand the effect of clay, straw, and wind turbines on the architecture of the past.
They are cheap
As the old saying goes, if they don't have prosperity, they have peace! Of course, ecotourism accommodations may not have all the facilities of a hotel, but they are cheaper, and they are unique especially for those who want to travel economically and manage their expenses.
Many times you can find accommodations that cost only fifty thousand tomans a night! This means you save money and can spend your money on buying souvenirs or staying longer in the area.
Do not harm the environment
The good thing about ecotourism residences is that they are made of materials that are compatible with their surroundings. For example, they are made of wood or straw or the same materials that are nearby. This means they minimize our footprint. In short, we can stay in them with peace of mind that we have not contributed to the destruction of nature and that we have fulfilled our social duty.
