Abstract

The development of the tourism industry is a great importance for developing countries facing problems such as low per capita income and poor income-distribution. So, the main-objective of this study is to examine the effect of tourism development on income-distribution in selected provinces of Iran. In order to examine the effect of tourism development on income-distribution in selected provinces of Iran for the period 2011-2021, a panel method was used. The result of the tourism index showed that tourism increases the Gini coefficient and inequality in the provinces. The effect of exports, unemployment rate, foreign capital, inflation rate and per capita income on the Gini coefficient have also been positively met. The per capita distance ratio in the provinces of Iran has had a negative effect on income distribution, which shows that the farther it is from the capital, the lower the Gini coefficient and the fairer the income distribution.
