“…In terms of economic impacts, positive impacts are ascribed to pro-poor tourism, including contribution to benefiting small tourism operators, providing valuable job opportunities, increasing household income, and facilitating the sale of agricultural products [15,18,20,37]. However, a number of negative impacts have been identified such as leakage of tax revenues, unequal distribution of income, elite capture and the Dutch disease effect resulting from tourism economic development in poverty-stricken areas [13,[38][39][40].…”

Tourism plays a crucial role in alleviating poverty deprivations and achieving sustainable development. Nevertheless, there is a lack of literature regarding evaluating poor residents’ perceptions of the impacts of tourism on poverty alleviation from the perspective of multidimensional poverty. Taking Fenghuang County, China, as the study area, this study established an evaluation framework by using the Delphi method based on multidimensional poverty theory. Moreover, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was employed to identify the weight of each indicator and assess poor residents’ perceptions of the impacts of tourism on poverty alleviation. The results indicate that tourism economic development has been a momentous contributor to alleviating multidimensional poverty in study locations to a certain extent (3.180). However, there is still room for improvement and promotion. With respect to various dimensions, the mean of economic level is the highest (1.125), whilst the means of education training (0.420) and health care (0.819) are relatively lower than the other dimensions.

“…Even if in microscale, the effects on the whole community, small tourism operators or ordinary residents are more intensively analyzed and discussed in the extant literature [12][13][14]. According to the proposal of DFID, the core goal for pro-poor tourism is that a net benefit for poor residents could be generated [15].…”

The article presents the results of scientific research devoted to the study of tourism in the countries of the Far East, obtained at one of its stages. The purpose of the article is to characterize the state of rural tourism in Iran. The article shows how the attitude to tourism has changed in this country, uncovering the main reasons for the growth of domestic and international tourist flows in recent years. There are several areas of rural tourism in Iran, which include visits to historical villages and free trade zones, camping in nomad tents, recreation in parks and natural resorts, and trips to the desert. The main research findings of the authors demonstrate the problems facing rural tourism in Iran and identify the risks that arise in this sector of the economy.

“…Iranian researchers most commonly discuss governance and tourism planning as the most important tourism development issue in Iran (Ghaderi, Abooali, & Henderson, 2018;Torabi, Rezvani, & Badri, 2019). Desirable governance and management are the key factors in tourism development (Alipour, Vaziri, & Ligay, 2011;Churugsa, McIntosh, & Simmons, 2007;Siakwah, Musavengane, & Leonard, 2019).…”

Iran is a rich country in terms of natural, historical, and cultural resources appropriate for ecotourism development. Despite its many valuable attractions and growth potential, Iranian ecotourism has faced various problems that have slowed or even prevented its expansion. Thus, in order to plan to address these challenges, we need to identify them. This study highlights the challenges of Iranian ecotourism and identifies areas where further research is required by reviewing some of the previous studies on Iran's ecotourism. Based on a literature review and thematic analysis, six different categories of challenges are presented: governance and planning, political, socio-economic, cultural; legal aspects; infrastructure; community awareness and knowledge; and environmental challenges. The study results indicated that the most significant challenges facing the Iranian ecotourism industry are governance, management, and planning issues. The research findings enhance our understanding of the current challenges of ecotourism in Iran that need to be rigorously investigated in the future and before any development planning projects. This study provides valuable insights for researchers, managers, and tourism officials on the development of Iranian ecotourism, which can be considered for future studies and planning.
