In the present study, using Terjong climate index, the optimal time of day and night tourism was determined (from 1996 to 2021) in the mangrove forests of the Hara protected area. Then using ACCESS-CM2 and CNRM-CM6-1 models to predict the suitable times for the development of nature tourism under the SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios. Terjong index showed that the best time for nature tourism in this region is during the day in the months of January, February and March and during the night in the months of April and November. It is observed that the maximum temperature trend has accelerated since the second half of the 2050s and its average has increased under the SSP5-8.5 scenario in the period of 2090-2099. Although the rainfall trend is fluctuating, it shows a decreasing trend in a significant part of the year. I

The current era has witnessed remarkable advancements due to the rapid development of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies. These technologies hold immense promise for continuous growth in the tourism sector. However, in Iran, there has been less attention paid to the application of this phenomenon in the field of tourism. The lack of previous research in this field prompted an investigation into the current position of interactive digital storytelling in the travel and tourism industry to motivate tourists. This research is applied in terms of its purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of data collection and analysis. T Exploratory factor analysis was used to analyze the data. The results indicate that there is a causal relationship between the elements of digital storytelling and travel motivation, and that digital storytelling through interactive digital media has a positive impact on motivating tourists to travel.

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.

The medical tourism industry, recognized as an emerging sector with significant potential, necessitates the enhancement of infrastructure and effective communication. This study aims to analyze the content of 50 medical tourism facilitator websites in India and Iran. Websites were identified using seven specialized Google keywords, and data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed with SPSS software. The content under review comprises seven categories and 63 elements, including "customer communication and interaction," "special service platforms," and "information and introduction of medical facilities." The findings reveal that the primary focus is on "information and introduction of services," with Iranian websites demonstrating lower quality compared to their Indian counterparts. To attract more medical tourists, it is crucial to pay attention to website design, improve customer collaboration, and leverage shared platforms. This study highlights the significance of integrated and intelligent systems for enhancing efficiency and speed in medical tourism processes.
