Every single historical city is par excellence a tourism destination. This derives simply from the definition of tourism and of the tourist. As a tourist destination, every historical city does not carry the same meaning to all tourists. The aim and purpose of tourism oriented development of a historical city must be different from tourism development of other tourism destinations. Very often the cities with very rich history attract many visitors, but they do not stay in them long. This situation raises a number of economic questions and dilemmas of how to reconcile the costs of preserving and maintaining the historical monuments with the benefit of tourist consumption made by visitors who come and stay in such cities albeit just for a short time. This is a question of tourism development policy itself: how to expand a tourism offer in order to keep the visitors longer, without damaging the harmony and physical environment of historical cities. Very often it is the matter of old and modern coexisting at the same place, of ethics, tradition, culture, architecture etc., as well as of economic concerns. The paper raises more questions than it will give answers, but it attempts to highlight the problem from the theoretical side.

Tourism infrastructure and facilities should be accessible for people with disabilities. This segment of the tourism industry market has been known as ccessible tourism in recent decades. The aim of this study is to investigate the environmental barriers and accessibility of Tehran tourism that affect tourism development for people with physical and motor disabilities. A questionnaire was distributed to 200 Tehran residents with physical and motor disabilities. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to analyze data. Environmental barriers to tourism development for these people were classified in three major areas including transportation, attractions and accommodation. For each area various elements and accessibility were investigated separately. In general, principles and standards of fitting the facilities according to the needs of people with dissabilities in the main areas of Tehran tourism are are found to be inappropriate. Transportation facilities were identified as the most prominent barrier of tourism development for people with physical and motor disabilities.
