The Hyrcanian region is well known for a pleasant climate and beautiful landscape, which have led to an annual influx of millions of domestic tourists from more arid parts of Iran (Tohidifar et al., 2016). The tourism have so far led to problems mostly with littering (Akhani et al., 2010), which can be witnessed in the whole region along roads, popular hiking paths and around car parking areas. Other closely associated problems with tourism activities are disturbance of wildlife, habitat loss due to tourism facility developments and collection of endemic and/or threatened plants (Tohidifar et al., 2016). Tourism inside the WH property is still quite undeveloped, but local people have started to develop tourism activities inside the property (Zarandian et al., 2015). Uncontrolled tourism will probably have a negative impact on the Outstanding Universal Value.
