The Kanibarazan Wetland in the south of Lake Urmia and north of Mahabad County has the high potential for ecotourism. Developing tourism in this wetland and its peripheral areas, observing its environmental regulations as a wildlife refuge, can create sustained revenues for management and conservation of wetland. Moreover, this Issue can associate local communities to the wetland more than the past. Certainly, the dependence of rural people and local communities on the wetland through tourism development, at first, reduces their harvesting of wetland production, destruction and threats, and secondly, increases the incentives for wetland conservation in a participatory manner indirectly.
The forthcoming report is the third part of the study and the preparation of the comprehensive tourism development plan for the International Kanibrazan wetland, entitled "Financial studies and provision of investment packages." In this report, physical scenario scenarios are examined from a financial perspective and are estimated for various uses, costs and revenues. Then, financial appraisal indicators are calculated separately for sub-projects and executive steps. Finally, considering the requirements of the market and the conditions of realization, the combination of subprojects, the investment packages that can be assigned to the private sector are defined.
