Everyone loves to rest in hot summer days. In this season, there are a lot of people who spend a lot of money on a meaningful leisure on the far journey. However, there are some people who choose the villages within the greenery only a few hours away from the city they live in, for which rural tourism is the most affordable type of recreation. Interest in this type of tourism, especially in the developed countries of Europe, is increasing in our country, including Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. Our rich natural tourism resources and renewed social infrastructure are key factors for this. Rural tourism is economically profitable, and very easy from organizational point of view. There are no difficulties in organizing this type of tourism compared to others. For example, for those who live in Nakhchivan city or other cities of the autonomous republic, during the summer vacation, when traveling to Bichenek village of Shahbuz region or Chennab village of Ordubad region, you can see it more clearly when compared to any tourist center near abroad. Thus, it is possible to organize a recreation program for a family of four in one village for at least twenty days at a cost of one week on a foreign tour. Moreover, as rural tourism is mainly related to domestic tourism, tourists do not even have problems with language problems or visas. This type of tourism, besides saving tourists’ expenses, is a source of income for the population of the villages.
