the physical development of the coastal city of Farah Abad, which was conducted as a case

supports the hypothesis of a significant relationship between tourism and the development of
the coastal city. Also, there is meaningful relationship between Independent variables of
natural tourism, social development and economic development and cultural development.
In addition to this hypothesis results showed that among the independent variables, gender,
marital status and duration of residence there is a significant relationship with the dependent
variable physical development and this hypothesis is confirmed. But the relationship
between the age independent variable and the dependent variable of physical development
didn't observed. Our explanation claim in this research is that coastal, natural tourism,
according to many attractions has failed to attract a large tourists and didn't cause coastal
city's physical development. The real question is that, why tourism (ecotourism), in spite of
having numerous attractions in the seaside town could not be successful in the physical
development? The research is based on the device's integrated model and hypotheses have
been drawn from theoretical models. Research method was survey. Data collection was done
