Identifying the geotourism potentials of Sarein city using the national park model and Hadzik model

Geotourism is one of the growing sectors of the tourism industry, which is related to geomorphological forms and processes. Geotourism is a type of natural tourism that pays special attention to geology and landscapes. The purpose of this research is to identify the geotourism potentials of Sarein city by using the national park model and Hadzik model. In Hadzik's model, the value and importance of each geotourist place is estimated in this method by the indicators of scientific value and surplus values of that geotourist place. Feuillet model is analyzed based on management and tourism rates and their value range. The results of the Hadzik model showed that according to the results of the scientific value, surplus and vulnerability according to the experts and tourists of the geotourist area in Vargesaran, Kanzeq and Viladargh, the values are (37.17), (26.46) and (53.47), respectively. They gave. Based on this, the geotourist area of Viladraq has a high and relatively good potential compared to the other two areas. The results of Feuillet model also showed that according to the studied sub-indices, the geotourist areas of Vila Dargh had the highest score, Derband Vergesaran area was ranked second, and Kanzeq area was ranked third in terms of geotourism capabilities. Therefore, it can be concluded that the geotourist area of Viladragh has more attraction power in terms of geotourism capability than the studied areas in the direction of geotourism development. It is also suggested to conduct several studies based on virgin geotourism resources in future researches to identify virgin geotourism areas.
