In recent years, eco-lodges in Iran have become one of the most popular lodging options for domestic and foreign tourists. At present, there are more than 3,300 eco-lodge units across Iran.
Mazandaran Province, with more than 600 eco-lodges, leads the country, and Gilan Province with about 500 and Isfahan Province with more than 400 eco-lodge units rank second and third. Fars and Yazd provinces, with 350 and 300 eco-lodges respectively, come next.
Of course, this figure is not comparable with leading tourism countries; according to the statistics, France, compared with Spain and the United States, with more than 5,000 eco-lodges, is one of the leaders in this field. Meanwhile, Iran, with its pristine nature and rich culture, offers distinctive experiences to domestic and foreign tourists, and leading countries, with strong infrastructure and high environmental standards, have been able to attract more tourists.
Although the cost of an eco-lodge depends on various factors such as the lodge's location, its size and capacity, and the level of services provided, the initial costs of setting one up can range from a few hundred million to several billion tomans.
