Investigation of Morpho-Dynamic Attractions and Climatic Welfare Characteristics in Desert Ecosystems to Develop Ecotourism Case Study: West Margin Of Lut Desert, Shahdad

Extended Abstract
Introduction
Ecotourism is a form of tourism involving visiting fragile, pristine, and relatively undisturbed natural areas, intended as a low-impact and often small scale alternative to standard commercial (mass) tourism. Its purpose may be to educate the traveler, to provide funds for ecological conservation, to directly benefit the economic development and political empowerment of local communities, or to foster respect for different cultures and for human rights. Since the 1980s ecotourism has been considered a critical endeavour by environmentalists, so that future generations may experience destinations relatively untouched by human intervention
Climatic and atmospheric factors affect human welfare. Human beings were influenced by these circumstances directly or indirectly. Nowadays, study of atmospheric and climatic condition on human welfare and behavior is studied by a discipline entitled human bioclimatology. The relation between climate and tourism can be examined in variety of forms. In one hand, there are climatic parameters that are different from one place to another. On the other hand tourism is a multi fact phenomenon. The main reason for seasonality in tourism is climatic effects. 
Materials and Methods       
The research try to investigate the morphodynamic attractions and welfare climatic conditions in west of Lut Desert. This is desert area with huge capability for development of tourism. The research is descriptive-analytical based on statistical models, field studies and modeling. Models of Mahoney, Guney, and Owens have been used to explore climatic welfare condition for the area. Then, the months with welfare condition and the periods with tourism attractions have been taken into account to suggest the best months for ecotourism activities. 
Discussion and results
The results indicate that the months of November, December, and March have the best climatic welfare condition for tourists. These months have the best ecotourism development in the area. The observations also show that most of the ecotourists go to the area in these periods. In addition, the area has some unique attractions such as Kalouts (a kind of yardang), sand dunes, and Nebkas. 
Conclusions
Generally, ecotourism deals with living parts of the natural environments. Ecotourism focuses on socially responsible travel, personal growth, and environmental sustainability. Ecotourism typically involves travel to destinations where flora, fauna, and cultural heritage are the primary attractions. Ecotourism is intended to offer tourists insight into the impact of human beings on the environment, and to foster a greater appreciation of our natural habitats.
Responsible ecotourism programs include those that minimize the negative aspects of conventional tourism on the environment and enhance the cultural integrity of local people. Therefore, in addition to evaluating environmental and cultural factors, an integral part of ecotourism is the promotion of recycling, energy efficiency, water conservation, and creation of economic opportunities for local communities. For these reasons, ecotourism often appeals to advocates of environmental and social responsibility.
 A suitable plan for tourism can be presented in the area regarding welfare climatic conditions and ecotourism attractions. It was revealed that the months of November, December, and March are the best periods for tourism to explore in the area. Therefore, it can be recommended to advertise for tourism in these months and to provide the tourists with necessary requirements. The management can better cater to ecotourists in these months.
