This study aimed to identify the impact of tourist attractions in the county of Tiran and Karvan, Isfahan, to increase the economic, cultural, and environmental benefits of tourism development; it would be possible to minimize its negative impacts. Methods: This is a descriptive-analytic study that was conducted using a standard questionnaire in 2013. In this study, 400 tourists, 400 native people, and 50 experts in tourist places in the country of Tiran and Karvan, Isfahan, were included using a randomized sampling method. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: The region’s most potential tourist attractions are suitable natural attractions and recreational attractions, and the climate of the region with an average temperature of 5 ℃. The tourists’ satisfaction rate with the tourism facilities and equipment of the county was at a low level. The role of tourism is effective in creating jobs and increasing the income of residents of the region. Conclusion: The creation of employment grounds including increasing the income level of indigenous families, organizations related to tourism activities, and institutionalization of the culture of environmental protection are the most important economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts of tourism in this area. The most important factor in the weaknesses in the lack of development of country tourism was the lack of management and planning. © 2024, Kerman University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved.
