This issue becomes more important in vulnerable areas in terms of biological resources and also coastal area. Therefore, despite the great importance of the tourism industry, the increase of tourists in some tourist areas can cause the impacts on natural resources and environments, so it is necessary to establish a strong interaction between the dimensions of tourism and its impacts on the environment to consequently achieve sustainable tourism. The aim of this study is to identify the effectiveness and impressible components of sustainable tourism in Bandar Rostami village in Bushehr province. The study type is practical research which collected data through filed study.
The results demonstrate that the key indicators in the sustainable tourism of Bandar Rostami village are roads, suitable weather, commercial centers, desirable landscapes and vegetation. Likewise, hunting and pilgrimage indicators are among the impressible indicators, and seafaring, fishing, and exhibition indicators are independent indicators. The results of index weighting with the FAHP model show that suitable weather index with a weight of 0.386, desirable scenery index with a weight of 0.239 and vegetation index with a weight of 0.129 have the highest scores among the indices.
