The Comparison and Ranking the Cost of Traveling to the Provinces of Iran for Tourism Purposes

One of the most important factors for travel is cost. Regardless of the reasons for differences in the costs of travel, in this study, compared the costs of travel in provinces and eventually ranked them. This study has been done using the Morris method. The results of the research showed that three provinces of Ilam, Qom and Gilan, according to the index of price in 2015 of Statistical Center of Iran, were ranked one to three respectively in terms of low cost, and Kerman, Yazd and Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari were first to third regarding being costly. Geographical distribution shows that some areas of northern, western, southwestern provinces as well as parts of the southeastern province are appropriate and a small part of the Northwest provinces and East and much of southern and central provinces are inappropriate for traveling considering the costs. So attention to these results will be helpful.
