Preservation of Cultural Resources By Development of Tourism

In order to plan, develop, and manage tourism, economic, cultural-social, and cultural factors should be taken into account. Tourism bears positive and negative impacts on the environment and its own domain, and the environment may be effective on tourism procedure. The results of tourists' presence possess notable importance in the world, and at the micro level in Iran. This is notable in a way that the presence of tourists results in the emergence of positive and negative economic, cultural-social, environmental, infrastructural, and managerial impacts in the world and specifically in Iran. But what bears high significance in this paper is to study and evaluate the impacts of tourism in the present situation in Iran's territory which is considered a special condition. Iran is considered a country accepting tourists in the region due to its natural, historical, and man-made (ancient) attractions, and its special geographical and historical position. A country of such possessions and capabilities shouldn't be taken away of the economic outcomes because of political problems and cultural-resources worries, and on the other hand the international tourism market shouldn't deprive itself of Iran's tourism attractions.
