Abstract
Nomads could have a lot of attractions for domestic and foreign tourists and help tourism industry; but these days changes in nomadic life, lack of economic opportunity, cultural and environmental problems, loss of social links in one hand, and in the other hand growth and development of the country, make the condition more difficult for nomads and discourage them to continue this model of life. This present research conducted to investigate the potentials of cultural tourism entrepreneurship of Qashqai nomad’s society of Iran. The research has been done through qualitative approach via interview and observation. The participants of the study were nomad’s tourism entrepreneurs and nomadic elites. In observation phase two tribes of Qashqai nomads were observed directly. The findings show that all of the elements of nomadic life are potentials for tourism entrepreneurship. Base on the interviews, nomadic tourism lead to job creation, increase in income, traditional cloth, food, customs and handicrafts’ revival, but according to observations contrary results were found.
