Therefore, this study will have a comprehensive and systemic look at tourism. Indeed, similar studies that were carried out in Iran and other countries of the world attempted to identify the affecting factors in developing tourism. They also tried to showcase the priorities and strategies in improving tourist attraction and tourism development through using hybrid FDANP methods in Iran.
The results of data analysis showed that the "facilities and infrastructure of tourism" impressionable Criterion, and "natural factors" as the most effective Criterion in tourism development,
Among the six criteria affecting the development of tourism, the criterion "tourism facilities and infrastructure" with a weight of 0.2 and sub-criterion "domestic investment security" gained the utmost importance.
Introduction
Natural attractions, cultural attractions, historic and convenient transportation infrastructure are factors that lead tourists to tourist destinations.Revenue from passenger transportation services caused the total export value of tourism to more than $ 1.5 trillion, or an average 4 billion per day.
With global tourism boom, a growing number of regions in developing countries have understood, the importance of tourism as an important factor in regional economic development.Iran, needs to have clear and precise picture of their competitiveness in the international tourism marketAnd on this basis, prioritize measures to enhance the competitiveness of its tourism industry and gain market share worth of international tourism.

Materials and Methods
The present study is a descriptive analytical research with an applied nature.Data collection, was conducted by reading the documentation, and field study. Due to the specialized nature of the subject of research, questionnaires were presented to the expert decision-maker in the field of tourismIn Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization and Tourism as well as the top university professors in Iran.After collecting responses from experts in theological questions be to reality, these responses were converted to fuzzy measures.In the final step, using pairwise comparison matrices obtained from the questionnaires and the data calculated through a hybridfuzzy approachof DEMATEL and ANP, data analysis was performed using the software EXCEL.
Discussion and Results
After conducting documentary research and interviews with experts in the field, using the fuzzy Delphi method, 6 criteria and 20 sub-criteria were identified. Then, to determine the impact and importance of the criteria and sub-criteria and also determine their priority, was used FDANP hybrid approach.
Relationships within the cluster to calculate Dymtl through paired comparisons, and theeffect of the criteria were determined on the basis of language options and positive triangular fuzzy numbers.The importance and impact of the main criteria have been obtained in order of natural causes, political and legal factors, economic factors, social and cultural factors, advertising and media, tourism facilities and infrastructure.
