The aim of the present paper is to present an appropriate framework to explain the position of each marketing concept and determine the significance of tourism marketing among marketing concepts, in terms of approach, technique and paradigm. To do so and in the first step, functional and important concepts of marketing were identified using ultra-combination method. In order to determine the position of tourism marketing among marketing concepts, multiple-stage Delphi technique was employed. Research population consists of a mixture of academic experts in marketing in and outside the country. The sample size in the second phase of the study was determined to be 26. Finally, through data analyses via single-variable t-test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the concepts were classified based on methodological levels, and tourism marketing was placed in paradigm category based on the conducted tests and the experts' opinions. Then, using TOPSIS, the position of tourism marketing was determined.

AbstractToday, many organizations including tourism service offices rely on many systems to start their business and to survive in this complicated competitive environment. Business Intelligence as a system is regarded a competitive advantage and a critical factor in the success of organizations. Business intelligence, by integrating organization’s information and data provides the administrators with the possibility of tracking and controlling the key processes of the organization and is a basis for making effective decisions. After identifying the dimensions, factors and components of business intelligence, this paper goes to the hypothesis testing using methods of statistical analysis, then if the hypothesis is accepted, it will investigate the significant differences between the variances using ratio variance homogeneity test. In case of the absence of significant differences between the variances, the Duncan test agent will be used for sorting and ranking the factors. Finally, using TOPSIS fuzzy techniques, it will rank all the components of business intelligence. This paper comes to the conclusion that Tourism offices, concerning all aspects, have been in an acceptable condition and the human resource factor in the internal dimension and customers in the external dimension have been of the utmost importance
