Abstract
Abstract

Tourism growth and development depend on various factors and variables that can influence each other. The initial step in planning for tourism development is to understand thAbstracte factors and forces that impact its development and the future transformations of this industry. For this purpose, several studies have been conducted by Iranian researchers to identify the factors and drivers influencing tourism development using foresight methods. This research aims to identify and classify the factors and drivers affecting tourism development in Iran using the meta-synthesis method in urban and regional dimensions. The unit of analysis in this study comprises Persian-language scientific articles with domestic study samples published in databases such as Noormags, Magiran, SID, ISC, the Comprehensive Human Sciences Portal, and Civilica during the period 2016-2023. Initially, 79 articles were found through searches in various scientific databases, and using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP), the validity of these articles was reviewed, eventually narrowing down to 60 articles. The Sandelowski and Barroso seven-step model was used to analyze the selected articles. The extracted factors and drivers include 46 concepts categorized into five components: managerial, socio-cultural, economic, service-related, and physical-environmental. Among the factors, tourist security in the region and increased investment in this sector have the highest frequency. Overall, the identified factors and drivers can be considered by researchers, managers, and decision-makers in the country's tourism sector for planning and developing this industry.
