Abstract

The increasing population growth of the country over the last two decades and the exponential increase of young population make it necessary to pay attention to new strategies for creating employment. The existence of potential for tourism around the country which has made Iran a capable country in this field, and using this potential for income and employment generation can be one of these solutions. The city of Firoozabad has a relatively high population growth. Considering the tourist attractions of Firoozabad, and considering special sensitivity of young people’s employment, tourism can be used as a way for creating employment and dealing with the challenge of unemployment. Accordingly, in this paper, considering the population structure and the number of arrival of tourists to Firoozabad, a study has been made of major occupational groups and the level of employment that tourism can provide, and finally a solution has been suggested in this regard. The main method of research is analysis of the statistics and information available in relation to the purpose of the study.
