The people of this region have long been messengers of peace and friendship around the world, and instead of setting traps for these migratory birds, they have always welcomed them with kind behavior.

The continued friendship of the people of this region and their coexistence with birds has created a potential capacity for the development of the tourism industry in this city.

Tourists who come to Marivan go to the village around the lake to see the turtles so that they do not miss this natural and pristine landscape.
