TEHRAN – A permanent venue for the Shahsavan nomad migration festival will be established in Bileh Savar county in Iran’s northwestern Ardabil province under a project to create a nomadic Ecocamp, a provincial official said on Saturday.
Jalil Jabbari, director-general of cultural heritage, tourism and handicrafts for Ardabil province, announced the plan during a meeting to review issues and development needs in Bileh Savar county, Miras-e Aria reported.
Jabbari said the Ecocamp would be developed in cooperation with relevant government agencies and would serve as the permanent site for the Shahsavan nomad migration festival.
According to Jabbari, the planned complex could host a range of events and activities, including handicrafts markets, nomadic accommodation facilities and agricultural tourism programs.
He said one of the main concerns of tourism operators in Ardabil province is the seasonal nature of tourism demand.
Jabbari said the climate conditions in the northern parts of the province, particularly during the second half of the year, could help attract visitors outside the traditional tourism season.
He said the ecocamp would contribute to the development of tourism infrastructure and attractions in northern Ardabil province and support efforts to expand tourism activity throughout the year.
