Exploring the Complexities of Child-Focused Managerial Perspectives

Incorporating child-friendly tourism concepts can contribute to creating sustainable tourism environments that protect natural resources, and preserve local culture, while offering enriching experiences for both children and families (Suryawijaya, 2023). Operating child-focused tours in Iran requires navigating a unique cultural and historical landscape, understanding market potential, and addressing regulatory challenges specific to this context. In Iran, there have been serious recent efforts by both public and private sectors to develop the tourism industry (Mohammadi & Pearce, 2020). However, despite these efforts, challenges persist in engaging children in the decision-making process and enhancing community involvement to improve tourism settings for younger visitors (Suryawijaya, 2023). Identifying and addressing these challenges is crucial to unlocking the full potential of child-oriented tourism in the region. The aim of this study is to explore managers' perspectives on providing child-focused tours within the context of Iran.
