The development of third-generation tourism is part of a general shift towards developing attractive places for people to live, work and visit, and this growing connection encourages the development of the creative tourism industry. Therefore, creative tourism allows tourists to develop their creative skills and talents through contact with local people and their culture. The present study has an applied developmental nature and in terms of research methods, it was conducted in the form of fieldwork, questionnaires and library methods, with the overall aim of investigating the potential of creative tourism in the city of Zanjan. Also, a number of prominent and attractive tourist areas were purposefully selected for data analysis. The characteristics that have increased or decreased the use of tourism facilities were collected through a survey, questionnaires and objective observation, and finally the data from the questionnaire were analyzed using SPSS and AHP.
