Tourism is often accused of providing unequal benefits and marginalizing disadvantaged and vulnerable groups for reasons such as ethnicity, gender, geographic region, poverty, disability, etc. Inclusive tourism as an approach based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals has been suggested in response to the exclusive nature of tourism development. This study aims to systematically review the literature on inclusive tourism using bibliometric analysis and quantitative content analysis. One hundred four documents indexed in the Scopus database were analyzed to understand the research's social and conceptual structure, the frequency of research methods and target groups. The findings revealed that research in this nascent field can be categorized into four clusters, namely:  "sustainability," "social entrepreneurship," "social inclusion," and "accessible tourism." In addition, based on the content analysis results, most of the research conducted in this field has been qualitative and conceptual, focused on the physically disabled from the demand side and on local communities from the supply side. The literature in this field is not yet well developed and requires research focusing on the diverse needs of different groups. The results of this study will help researchers and tourism activists understand trends in inclusive tourism and future research directions.

The aim of this study is to provide a model for sourcing in the supply chain of the poultry industry. The research in terms of audience is basic, in terms of purpose is descriptive and from the time perspective is cross sectional. The research approach is mixed (qualitative and quantitative). The collecting data in the qualitative part was semi-structured interviews and in the quantitative part was Delphi questionnaire and Likert scale. The statistical population in the qualitative and Delphi section included  12 managers of the poultry industry who were selected by purposive sampling. The statistical population of the quantitative part of the research were the middle managers and senior experts of poultry industry. We used Cochran’s formula   and selected 384 persons by simple random method. We used a thematic analysis for collecting data and MAXQDa software for analyzing interviews.  In the quantitative part, the partial least squares method were utilized using Smart PLS software to validate the model. The research findings showed that the enablers of sourcing and supply chain management affect the mechanism of cooperation, selection and evaluation of supply sources. These structures in turn affect the sourcing strategy of the supply chain and the sourcing strategy also affects the quality, price, environmental and delivery performances. These structures, by affecting risk management in sourcing, ultimately improve sourcing in the poultry industry.

The model was designed using fuzzy Delphi technique, fuzzy Dimtel and improved fuzzy AHP technique consist of 5 criteria, 19 sub-criteria and 63 indicators. Results show, the financial performance is the most important and the environment is the least important criteria for determining the rating of companies, while the environment has the most and financial performance has the least influence on other criteria. Also, the top 10 indicators among 63 indicators make up a total of 49% of the weight of the model, and it is necessary for company managers to pay special attention to them in order to improve their ranking.
