Results
The findings and opinions of three mentioned perspectives (public, officials and tourists), indicate that the first stage, the evaluation matrix (9 internal strengths and 11 weaknesses) and (7 to 9 external threat) have been ranked. Secondly, the total average views of three groups of participants - as factors of importance is calculated and a rank has been assigned to each of them The ranks are as follows: 4, an opportunity aststayy; 3, a common chance; 2, a common threat; and. 1, a threat. Finally 9 operating IFE local priority with a score of 39.2, and 8 external factors priority score EFE with 43.2 in the region is classified, In 3rd. phase in the matrix of internal and external IE scores IFE and EFE in horizontal and vertical dimensions of a matrix of four homes. a strong part of the spectrum (2.5 to 4) debilitating (1 to 2.5) is and the score matrix of internal and external position of the point with the highest score among the factors, weaknesses (W) and threats (T) is allocated and the main strategies of defensive strategies have been obtained In the fourth stage, using quantitative strategic planning matrix (QSPM) coefficient of relative attractiveness (AS) 1. Unimportant, 2. Low of, 3. Average of, 4. Importance to each of the various options identified and implemented strategies (defensive) is allocated and total attractiveness (important) in the matrix is calculated TAS, and the fourth defensive strategy, strategy WT2 with the highest score (36.7) as the final strategy as "preparation, and encourage people to participate in the development and equipping of rural infrastructure, tourist facilities and equipment to support the government." selected and introduced.
