Abstract
Some consider second home development as a result of fundamental changes in industrial societies that led to higher incomes, fewer working hours and longer leisure times. It is recognized that the growth of the tourism industry is critical for the sustainable development of the Iranian economy. This is particularly true in the rural areas where employment opportunities are reducing and traditional employment levels in agriculture are in decline. While seeking to ensure that most tourism developments with associated accommodation facilities are located in or close to towns or villages or on tourism zoned lands. Rural areas have long been seen and used as appropriate locations for recreation and tourism activities. However, the restructuring of rural areas and population loss from many areas has meant that tourism as also assumed greater economic and employment importance in many rural and peripheral regions. Second homes are an integral though often neglected component of domestic and international tourism mobility. In many areas of the world second homes, also referred to as vacation homes, cottages, summer houses, recreation homes, cribs and weekend homes, are the destination of a substantial proportion of domestic and international travelers while the number of available bed nights in a second homes often rivals or even exceeds that available in the formal accommodation sector.
