This study is set in the context of Iran's Baluchistan, an area where an exotic ethnic culture is threatened. The present study investigated how Baluchistan's ethnic and cultural uniqueness may be preserved and, indeed, integrated with the planned introduction and development of ethnic tourism. In light of this information, the research focuses on opportunities that ethnic diversity provides in multiethnic societies. The government, tourism entrepreneurs, Baluch ethnic group, religious leaders, and tourists have been identified as the stakeholders with greatest interest in ethnic tourism. A conceptual framework is presented for ethnic tourism development in the Baluchistan area of Iran. Five key stakeholder groups have been identified in order to understand their distinguishing features with a view to achieving constructive relations and to increase unity in the context of a multiethnic society through the development of ethnic tourism.
