Although the Hyrcanian region is a popular destination, the main tourism pressure is currently located outside the World Heritage site. The problems with littering both inside and outside the property need to be dealt with and other tourism related negative impacts on the Outstanding Universal Value can be mitigated with appropriate management planning and measures. A large part of the Hyrcanian forest is steep terrain with limited accessibility, which gives "natural" protection from most visitors. An increased negative impact from tourism can be avoided by allowing only sustainable eco-tourism inside the property.
