This hasresulted in many environmental,ecotourist, recreational, and economic capabilities. The tourist infrastructure of any region is the nature of that area and as one of its parts,geotourism has in recent years, experienced a dramatic and significant upsurge in the world and has had a great influence on regional development. Geomorphological and geological visit is one of the main aspects of Geotourism. Ilam province with a surface area of 19,086 KM2ranges from 31 deg. 58 min. to 34 deg. 15 min. North Latitude from the Equator and 45 deg. 24 min. to 48 deg. 10 min. East Longitude from the Greenwich. The province is considered as one of the most prone areas for development of geotourism with its geotourist, geomorphological and geological attractions such as caves, mountains, rivers, waterfalls and springs. In this regard, attention to the natural capacities, conservation, presentation and utilization of geotourism attractions can play an important role in the sustainable development of the province,while it can be effective in solving problems such as  unemployment and creation of employment in the province.This research studies the characteristics of Ilam province in a  library, field, descriptive - analytical method and by using maps and satellite images, The vast country of Iran has diverse geographical conditions with 11 out of 13 known climates in theworld.
