Sažetak

This study aims to measure the perception of tourist congestion and prioritize demarketing strategies in the city of Kashan. In this applied-survey research, after reviewing the literature and extracting elements and dimensions of demarketing strategies, using a questionnaire and semi-structured interview, the ideas of the participants (tour guides, local people, city authorities, tourism academics) were investigated. The results show that the perceived tourist congestion in Kashan is at its carrying capacity threshold. The authorities deem that ‘personnel’ factor (among P7s) is ranked at the top, followed by ‘price’, ‘promotion’, ‘process’, ‘physical evidence’, ‘product’, and ‘place’. The academics also see ‘personnel’ as most prominent, before ‘price’, ‘place’, ‘process’, ‘product’, and ‘physical evidence’. As for demarketing of Iran’s major tourist destination, ‘personnel’ and cooperative factor seem to different sectors for demand management seemed to have the highest influence on.
