  Iran's mud volcanoes are clearly visible on the coastal plains of the Oman and Caspian Seas. There are 30 Gatan Mud Volcanoes located in the southeast of Iran: 15 of which are located between Jask and Minab in Hormozgan province, nine are between Chabahar and Jask Ports, and another six are between Chabahar and the Iran-Pakistan border in Sistan and Balouchestan Province. After some studies and investigations, research was performed on some of the mud volcanoes in the western Jask city located in the west of lower Gatan village. Gatan is located in the eastern coast of Hormozgan Province between the counties of Jask and Minab and on the coastal region of Makran. Being located on the entrance of the Strait of Hormuz and due to marine currents, it has certain sedimentology circumstances. Formation of Gatan Mud Volcanoes is a result of rising muddy water along the faults and cracks in the crust to the earth's surface. Results of mineralogical studies indicate that clay and limestone samples contain fossils and abundant minerals include quartz, albite, illite, calcite and dolomite. Manuscript profile

  Abstract Geotourism has a special place in the sustainable tourism market. It is a type of tourism that preserves or strengthens geographical features including culture, aesthetics, land heritage and welfare of the inhabitants of an area. One of the most important issues in this regard is the lack of knowledge of geotourist attractions, sometimes their forgetfulness and, unfortunately, its destruction in some places. This research has been done with the aim of identifying and introducing the geotouristic features of these mud volcanoes, which can have therapeutic and economic value. The method of this research is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of descriptive-analytical and field nature. In order to evaluate and rank the grades in the geomorphological locations of mud volcanoes, the Pralong method has been used. To achieve this goal, topographic and geological maps, the results of field visits and questionnaires have been considered as the main data and tools of the research. The results of Pralong method showed that each of the mud volcanoes (Qarniariq and Naftlijeh and Incheh Borun) with high tourist grade of 0.46, 0.44 and 0.43, respectively, have high tourist attraction and in terms of prioritization Qarniariq mud volcano is a priority for tourism. Accordingly, mud volcanoes have a high potential in attracting tourism, lack of proper advertising infrastructure, lack of amenities for tourists is the main reason for the lack of geotourism in the region.
