Summary/Abstract: GIS can be used in tourism as a decision making instrument regarding sustainable planning, impact evaluation and visitor flow management. Tourism has always been considered a suitable environment to expand the horizons of human interests. [1] It is a major factor in the development and exploration of historical, natural and cultural heritage of nations. Therefore, it indirectly serves to improve cultural understanding by both residents and foreigners. Internal tourism creates an understanding and appreciation for local attractions, and consequently improves sustainable tourism.
