Abstract
Rural tourism is considered as a process of rural development that by creating complementary agricultural activities, provides economic development through raising the ability to generate income, create jobs, and consequently, sustainable livelihoods. In this regard, the purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of rural tourism income distribution in different economic sectors. For this purpose, the social accounting matrix (SAM) of 2006 and the multipliers analysis resulting from this matrix have been used. The advantages of using this method are the possibility of study the effects of income distribution of rural households by sections. By taking into account the totality of the economy, this model encompasses all direct and indirect effects on economic and social sectors. The results show that the development of rural tourism sub-sectors has a positive effect on the distribution of rural household income.
