Ali Riyaaz Amani , Department of Management, Science and Technology, Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran Polytechnic, Tehran, IranAbstract
This study examines the diverse scenarios within the tourism industry and their economic impact on the urban landscape of Tabriz. As one of Iran's most historic and culturally significant cities, Tabriz stands as a pivotal case for understanding the interplay between tourism and urban economic development. Utilizing a combination of quantitative data analysis and qualitative assessments, this research investigates how different tourism scenarios—ranging from cultural heritage tourism to modern leisure tourism—affect various economic indicators, including employment rates, local business growth, and municipal revenues. The findings reveal that strategic investments in the tourism sector can significantly enhance urban economic vitality, though the outcomes vary depending on the type and scale of tourism initiatives implemented. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers and urban planners aiming to harness tourism as a driver of sustainable economic growth in Tabriz.
