This type of tour has a significant importance in the promotion of ethical and rural tourism. Knowing the fact that tourism helps the people living in the rural areas, we have designed this tour including the visits to the World Heritage Sites. People living in the rural areas could share their interests and needs. The tour also has an approach with the school children in a village and some deprived people in such areas. These children and people could be benefited by such visits.
