  The present study aims to investigate the impact of institutional and physical factors on regional development policy-making, with a focus on religious tourism. This research is considered applied, employing a descriptive-analytical method, and utilizing both library-documentary and field data collection methods. The statistical population comprised provincial and county experts as well as senior managers, selected via snowball sampling. A sample size of 30 individuals completed the questionnaire, which demonstrated reliability and validity. The findings revealed that institutional factors positively and significantly influence regional development policy-making concerning religious tourism (path coefficient = 0.223, indicating a moderate level of impact), as do physical factors (path coefficient = 0.565). Moreover, institutional factors positively and significantly impact physical factors (path coefficient = 0.609). The results showed that institutional factors have a positive and significant impact on regional development policy-making with a focus on religious tourism. Additionally, physical factors have a positive and significant impact on regional development policy-making with a focus on religious tourism. On the other hand, institutional factors have a positive and significant impact on physical factors. These results highlight the interplay between institutional and physical factors in shaping regional development policy-making for religious tourism. Manuscript profile
