Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the impact of sustainable tourism on residents' support. A survey was conducted to accomplish this purpose on scientifically selected samples of residents. The analysis was made from 366 questionnaires returned by residents of study areas. In the analysis of the collected data, we used the multiple regression analysis after getting the collected data through the data coding process. The result of the analysis showed that the three factors of positive social-cultural impact, positive economic impact, and negative social-cultural impact were significantly related to residents' support. The results suggest that it is important for policy makers and community leaders to consider social-cultural and economic impact when decision making on development planning.
