Accordingly, good governance should be considered as an important element in sustainable tourism development.
The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive framework to identify the relationships between each of the indicators of good governance in order to achieve sustainable tourism development in Maybod city.
In this study, indicators are first identified by a comprehensive review of the literature and opinions of experts in the field.
