An examination of the history of the tourism industry in Iran necessitates a thorough investigation into the roles and functions of organizations responsible for tourism, particularly in Iran’s contemporary history, drawing upon the archival records of these organizations. Among these entities is the Organization for the Attraction of Tourists (Sāzmān-e Jalb-e Sayyāhān), which served as the steward of tourism in Iran from 1964 to 1974. Possessing its own structure and organization, this entity undertook numerous activities in provinces such as Mazandaran, which boasted considerable tourism potential. Accordingly, this research endeavors, through the application of historical research methods and the utilization of archival documents and materials, to formulate and address the question; What was the role and function of the Organization for the Attraction of Tourists in the construction and development of tourism-related infrastructural projects in Mazandaran during the Pahlavi II era?
The research findings indicate that the establishment of the Organization for the Attraction of Tourists as a department within the Prime Ministry in Iran in May 1963 led to the formation of provincial and Sub-provincial level branches of this organization in various provinces across the country, including Mazandaran. In the province of Mazandaran, with the objective of fostering the growth and development of tourism this organization undertook numerous measures. Prominent among these endeavors was the construction and expansion of tourism-related infrastructural projects. The construction of Seaside resort (plāzh) in coastal cities, the development of road networks to facilitate tourist access to tourism areas—including roads perpendicular to the sea and forest roads—and, ultimately, the establishment of Forest Recreation Areas (park-hā-ye jangali) constituted the most significant actions of the Organization for the Attraction of Tourists in the construction and development of tourism infrastructure in Mazandaran during the Pahlavi II era, spanning the years 1963 to 1974.
