Abstract: The current research seeks to explain and answer the question of what the mechanisms of citizenship rights in strengthening tourism are included with a descriptive-analytical approach, and the regression analysis was used for this purpose. The statistical population includes the experts and activists in the field of tourism, and the statistical sample is consisted of 108 Iranian experts and specialists in the field. The findings showed that civil rights had a standard beta coefficient equal to 0.28; the coefficient of influence of social rights was equal to 0.22. This coefficient was positive and significant at the level of less than 0.05, and its interpretation is that for one unit of improvement in the level of social rights, it is expected that strengthening of tourism will be improved by 22%. Political rights had a coefficient equal to 0.33. The effectiveness coefficient of management planning was equal to 0.18, which shows that there was a positive and significant relationship between management planning and tourism promotion. Research on the role of citizenship rights mechanisms in developing tourism is scarce. Therefore, this paper provides a rare insight into the theoretical and practical implications that are useful for the concept of citizenship rights in tourism.
