The data collection tool was the international tourism branding questionnaires made by the researcher based on Jalalian's research (2019) and Sangabi's tourism marketing (2014). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) and inferential statistics (Kolmogorov Smirnov, t-test and regression) using SPSS-26 software.

    Results

    The results showed that the international branding components of the tourism industry affect tourism marketing in Tehran. Also, the results showed that brand image, awareness, perceived quality, and loyalty are the most important components of the tourism industry's international branding in Tehran's tourism marketing.

    Method

    In this study, the grounded theory research approach based on parametric methods is employed. The statistical population of this research comprises experts and professionals in the field of central banking, capable of providing valuable information to the researcher. Sampling in this research has been conducted purposively. For this purpose, the qualitative samples of this research consist of 15 experts and professionals knowledgeable in the field of central banking. Data analysis of this research has been performed following the procedures of Strauss and Corbin (2011) at the Central Bank.

    Findings

Further, the readiness of managers and experts in the banking system to accept the model, creating economic and social conditions meaning stability in the economic situation based on macroeconomic variables, attention to the characteristics of the banking industry as intermediaries in allocatingsurplus resources of some economic sectors to others in need of financial resources, and defining a suitable position for the supervisory institution in terms of ensuring the independence of the supervisory body, and providing sufficient authority in supervision were contextual conditions. Then, strategies for the success of the supervisory model were presented, including the identification and assessment of major risks in the banking industry such as credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk, and operational risk, in terms of structure and risk management methods, related analyses, and their impact on the future outlook of each bank's activities.

    Conclusion

    Strategic analyses regarding the distribution of granted loans, commitments, investments in affiliated companies, and the status of bank reserves, assets, and collaterals, and the presentation of precautionary plans during economic shocks or potential crises are among the strategies of each bank.
