Abstract :

The purpose of this research is to analyze the management of sustainable tourism development and to provide a framework for this issue, which has been carried out in a descriptive, survey, and applied manner. For this purpose, first, by reviewing the research literature and the background of the research, the theoretical framework of the research was formulated. Based on this framework, the research conceptual model was presented, and the research hypotheses were formulated. To test the hypotheses of the research, the statistical population including the managers and experts of the central headquarters of the Ministry of Tourism was considered to be more than 90 people and instead of sampling, the entire count was done. In the following, the questionnaires whose validity and reliability were confirmed were distributed among 90 people. Due to the non-normality of the data distribution, the partial least squares method and Smart PLS 3 software were used for statistical analysis. Based on the significant values related to the hypotheses, all were confirmed. The impact of social damage on creating an obstacle to the sustainable development of tourism is equal to 0.568, the impact of economic damage on creating an obstacle to the sustainable development of tourism is equal to 0.722, the impact of institutional damage on creating an obstacle to the sustainable development of tourism is equal to 0.587 and the impact of Environmental damage on creating obstacles in the sustainable development of tourism is equal to 0.805.
