The aim of the study is to examine the indicators of the economic effects of trade sanctions on Iran's tourism industry. The study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-qualitative in terms of data collection through semi-structured interviews with experts in the Iranian tourism industry. The findings show that 26 initial codes were identified from 702 sections of the interviews and 4 main components were extracted. The findings show that among the effective factors of sanctions, the category of financial sanctions is in the first place, the category of social measures and the category of political measures, and the category of trade sanctions are in the next place.
