Abstract. Studies and research have shown that many theorists and international organizations have already started to discuss the development of tourism due to the importance of tourism and its impact on economic growth and socio-cultural development. In some developed countries tourism development not only does not lead to economic growth, but even as a result of significant costs and a reduction in the level of social welfare in their society.However, recently a new approach has criticized both aspects of this relationship, which suggests that this is not a self-help relationship. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to determine whether economic growth in some countries has led to an increase in economic development due to the expansion of tourism activity over the past two decades or not. Therefore, algorithm sample of 24 countries including Iran has been used, indicating that this relationship exists in more developed countries and it makes sense of tourism as a driving force for economic development for less developed countries and even in developing countries.
