Abstract
Politics is a product of geography and tourism, which is one of the geopolitical foundations of Iran, has not been unaffected by politics and has had many vicissitudes in proportion to political developments and political relations with the world in Iran and after the victory of the Islamic Revolution. Iran, with all its historical, cultural, and natural attractions in recent years, has been able to achieve relative success in this field, and the efforts and attention of tourism industry activists, the expansion of mass communication network, government facilitation policies, and attention to infrastructure, education and welfare have been among the most important reasons. Undoubtedly, the political relations of the countries have not been ineffective in the development of tourism cooperation, and the security, welfare, educational, as well as strengthened historical, cultural, and territorial commonalities between the two countries have been effective in expanding these tourist exchanges. For this purpose, the required data for the research have been collected from the content of upstream laws and programs of the Islamic Republic of Iran by the documentary method. The results show that the more countries have strengthened political relations, the more they are developed in tourism. This is, of course, clear in the case of Iran and Oman, which have been studied on a case-by-case basis. At the same time, if more infrastructure, welfare, and advertising facilities are developed, they will enjoy more prosperity.
