Using a descriptive-analytical method, the study demonstrates that these lodges, by utilizing traditional materials and construction methods, not only attract tourists and generate economic prosperity but also play a significant role in preserving and revitalizing indigenous architecture and raising awareness of the region's cultural and environmental values.
