The sociological analysis of marriage tourism among young Iranian couples is the purpose of this study. Lack of proper understanding of the causes, processes, and consequences of this type of tourism is an issue that is pursued in this study. The approach of the present research is qualitative and the method of data collection and analysis is content analysis. Findings show that honeymoon travel is the most important type of marriage tourism in Iran. This trip is to natural and religious destinations. And the quality of appropriate, diverse and accessible services, family support and individual motivations such as vitality, empowerment, avoidance of restrictions and major advertising are the reasons for this type of tourism. Marriage is a cultural event that has become one of the main tourism axes today. Important cities of Iran such as Mashhad, Kish, and Isfahan on the one hand and foreign countries, on the other hand, are the destinations of marriage tourism. Family travel, without the presence of outsiders and at a considerable cost, forms part of the process of this type of tourism. The major implications are the receiving of psychological, social and family feedback on the one hand and the tendency to travel more on the other. The present study has attempted to analyze the issue of marriage tourism from different aspects.
