The purpose of this present study was to identify the factors affecting the development of the maritime tourism industry in line with the economic growth of the ports of Khorramshahr and Abadan and its effect on attracting tourists in the Arvand Free Zone.

The method of this research is applied in terms of its purpose and in terms of descriptive-survey nature which is conducted by interviewing, observing, studying, and ... with a deductive approach to identify influential factors. On the other hand, in the quantitative part of the research, the analysis has been carried out. Data were analyzed by using SPSS and LISREL software based on the T-test and structural equations model. Based on the results, natural variables of other variables were more effective than those with a T-statistic of 14.84 and an impact factor, of 0.85, which is a significant amount. This value is considered strong in terms of the severity of the effect since it is more than 70%. On the other hand, the variable of political factors, with the value of t statistic, is 9.71, the coefficient of influence is 0.59, and the effect of average intensity has the least effect on attracting tourists to the Arvand Free Zone.
