Shaneh Tarash village, nestled deep within the ancient Hyrcanian forests of Dohezar in Tonekabon, has been introduced as one of the eight final nominees of the Islamic Republic of Iran to join the prestigious list of the World Tourism Organization’s Best Tourism Villages for 2026, after passing through specialized screening among 100 villages across the country. This village, relying on a rare model of a ‘people’s cooperative with the participation of over 90% of its residents,’ the revival of ancient wooden handicrafts under strict environmental principles, and the transformation of the ecotourism chain into a driving force for reverse migration, today is regarded not only as a pilot for organic tourism but also as a leading model of a sustainable economy in northern Iran, and stands a strong chance of repeating the historical success of the village of ‘Kandolus’.
