Abstract
The link between art and tourism has been established since the distant past. Due to a series of different factors, art and tourism gradually combined and a new literature emerged in this field. In the meantime, the new arts established a closer relationship with tourism due to their location-specific and media-oriented nature. This qualitative research, with the aim of identifying the performance of new arts in the tourism development of local communities, has used the fundamental theory of the systematic version to present its final theory. In order to achieve this goal, the main question of the research is, what was the function of new arts in the development of tourism of local communities by studying the case of Hormuz Island? Necessary information was obtained by referring to library sources, authentic documents, field observations, recording details, interviewing target community members, distributing questionnaires, referring to documents, and analyzing them. The data were analyzed based on open, central, and selective coding. The findings include 34 first-level categories, 10 second-level categories, and five main clusters that include the central phenomenon. In the end, a conceptual model was drawn to explain the relationships between the categories and presented in the form of a paradigmatic model consisting of five dimensions of causal causes, contexts, intervention, moderating factors, strategies, actions-interaction, and finally results and consequences. The results revealed that the touristization of Hormuz Island is due to new art events that are dependent on the causal conditions, background factors and intervening factors that these factors have caused the actions that ultimately led to the development of tourism in this island.
