Responsible tourism has been identified as an effective strategy for achieving sustainable development goals, reducing poverty, and improving the quality of life for residents in rural areas. However, the different aspects of responsible tourism may not have uniform effects on different aspects of quality of life, which has been a topic receiving limited attention in previous research. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate how the various dimensions of responsible tourism affect different aspects of the quality of life of residents in tourist destinations in the rural areas of Khorramabad County, with a sample size of 20,750. A sample size of 254 individuals was determined using power analysis for linear regression with three independent variables. Data collection was carried out using a researcher-made questionnaire.

The tourism industry is one of the greatest sources of economic growth. To demonstrate the importance of tourism and convert it into monetary value, it is necessary to value tourist attractions using appropriate methods. In this study, the recreational value of Chaghakhor wetland in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province of Iran was estimated using the contingent valuation method, and the factors affecting the willingness to pay were investigated using the logit model. The sample size was determined based on Cochran's method, and then the data were collected using questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. The results showed that the variables "income", "occupation", "season", "the main purpose of visit" and "maximum suggested amount" have a significant impact on willingness to pay. Furthermore, the average monthly willingness to pay is 30,000 Tomans and the annual recreational value of the wetland is 1,956,521 Tomans per hectare, which indicates the high importance of the wetland for visitors.

When stakeholders have different perceptions and goals regarding tourism development, conflicts can arise among them in various areas. This study focuses on examining the issue of conflicts among tourism stakeholders using a combined methodological approach: meta-synthesis, and a multi-criteria decision-making model to comprehensively identify existing conflicts, identify the causes of conflicts in tourist destinations, explain the types of conflicts, and prioritize conflicts. Analyzing 37 existing studies, 30 conflict parameters were identified using in meta-synthesis method and based on the opinions of 15 tourism experts prioritization was performed with fuzzy Delphi method. The results show that parameters such as hindering the development of tourist activities due to environmental regulations, unfair distribution of tourism benefits, and disagreement in allocating incentives and financial rewards to stakeholders are the most important areas of conflict among tourism stakeholders, with conflicting interests and violation of the rights and interests of others being the most important causes.

This research aimed to identify and rank the factors influencing the development of creative tourism based on sports heritage. The study utilized a structural-interpretive method, with library studies, interviews, and questionnaires serving as data collection tools. The results identified 13 key factors, which were classified into six levels. Environmental factors and tourist attractions were ranked at the first level. The second level included social and cultural factors, infrastructure, international interactions, and marketing. Technology, education, and research were placed at the third level, while the economic factor stood alone at the fourth level. Management and human resources were positioned at the fifth level, and finally, political, legal, and governance factors were assigned to the sixth level. The model revealed that despite being at the lowest level, political, legal, and governance factors are of paramount importance in the development of creative tourism and should be considered the top priority in development efforts.
