Tourism facilities and its role in the prosperity of this industry
Tourism facilities are one of the most important needs of any region for the development of the tourism industry. Various factors can attract tourists to visit a region as attractions, natural and historical attractions are the most important, but without proper infrastructure and tourism facilities, this industry cannot perform successfully.
Ardabil province is one of the tourist-friendly provinces of the country, which is especially welcomed by tourists in spring and summer. In examining the state of tourism in the province, we realize the important role of tourism facilities in the development of the tourism industry and observe that such facilities play a key role both in attracting travelers and in managing them during peak tourist arrival times in the province.
Ardabil province with 20 thousand official accommodation beds after Khorasan Razavi and Mazandaran provinces has the most accommodation beds in the country and this is one of the advantages of tourism facilities in Ardabil province compared to other provinces. The tourism development of Sarein city and of course cities like Mashginshahr and the importance of Ardabil city as the capital of the province has caused the number of accommodation centers in these cities to face significant growth. So that about 75% of beds in official accommodation centers are located in Sarein city. This number of accommodation centers and their development in the province may not have a significant role in attracting tourists, but they definitely play a significant role in managing and increasing the stay of travelers in the province. Tourism in Ardabil province is seasonal and we see a large number of tourists in the province in the spring and summer seasons, especially the few-day holidays in these two seasons bring the peak of the arrival of travelers to the province, and the presence of 20 thousand official beds is one of the advantages of managing these times.
On the other hand, some tourist facilities are considered important attractions for tourists, the successful examples of ecotours in Ardabil province have such a function. Dorna agriculture in the Sablan range is one of these cases that even helps Ardabil tourism to escape from seasonality. The location of this complex in the heart of nature and in the pristine slopes of Sablan, in addition to attracting tourists in spring and summer, is the choice of many tourists in the harsh and cold seasons of the year to experience winter nature and different weather conditions.
Another type of tourism facilities that play an important role in the prosperity of this industry in any region are inter-road complexes, these complexes have the ability to provide very diverse, necessary and helpful services to travelers. In such a way that with the presence of suitable inter-road complexes, the quality of travel increases and people experience a comfortable journey.
Also, diversity among tourism facilities can be an attractive factor for travelers, not all travelers travel in the same conditions and with the same purpose, and for this reason, they may go for a different type of tourism and accommodation facilities. For example, five-star hotels require a high cost for accommodation, but the necessity of such an accommodation center in touristic cities cannot be ignored. Also, other hotels, guesthouses, traditional residences and other types of accommodation tourism facilities may be chosen for accommodation in different travel conditions. In Ardabil, there are empty places of five-star hotels, and with the opening of the first hotel of this type, the variety of tourist facilities in the province has expanded, and it is necessary to create such complexes again.
In general, it should be pointed out that tourism facilities, especially accommodation centers, deal with the peace and comfort of travelers and are one of the influential factors in tourism, and special attention to this area and their development can lead to the prosperity of the important tourism industry. have
