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."
