Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate and rank the factors affecting the development of maritime travel and tourism in the Persian Gulf terminus of Khorramshahr port. In previous studies, despite investigating other types of tourism, there has been no study on maritime tourism and in particular on maritime travel and tourism at the Persian Gulf terminus of Khorramshahr port. Despite the realization of the research goal, while increasing the revenue of the Khuzestan ports and maritime organization, it will boost job opportunities in the region, otherwise the potential loss of the region will result in the loss of capital in the maritime sector. The method of this research is based on the nature of exploratory blend (qualitative-quantitative approach), which focuses on qualitative research. The quantitative part of this research is related to the analytical method based on Analytic hierarchy process (AHP). In addition, SPSS22 and Expert choice11 software were used for this purpose. Based on the results, the infrastructure dimension with the final weight of 0.528 first rank and the service, economic and cultural services with the final weight of 0.243, 0.142 and 0.086 respectively ranked second, third and fourth. Among the components, the construction of residential and recreational facilities, the provision of patrols and sea tours, banking facilities for the private sector and media advertising, respectively, with the final weight of 0.431, 0.432, 0.488 and 0.559, were among the components of each dimension as the first rank.
