Abstract:
The tourism industry is considered as one of the most important economic and effective factors
in the cultural, social and economic development of human societies which brings nations,
communities, and cultures together, and creates a large number of jobs. Tourism, as an effective
approach, can play an effective role in the development and diversification of the economy

games are created. In general, waterparks can be divided into indoor and outdoor areas.
Outdoor waterparks are usually constructed in tropical locations, and indoor parks are often

construction of the water park will reduce the unemployment rate in the Chabahar Free Zone
and increase the tourism and economic prosperity of the region, and will benefit a lot to the
investor due to the growing interest of indigenous people and tourists in using water pleasure.
Advantages of Chabahar Free Zone for constructing a waterpark:
- Four-season weather
- The existence of historical and natural tourist attractions
- The increasing rate of tourist attraction
- Shortage of amusement centers in spite of a young and growing population
Advantages of investment in Chabahar Free Zone:
Chabahar Free Zone, as a link between Iran and Oman Sea is one the most important waterways
in the world. Access to high seas and international ports has made Chabahar Free Zone a
geographically convenient location to transit goods to member countries of the common wealth
of independent states. In addition, low storage costs and port services for containers and
commercial goods and the ability of ability of mooring big ships (100 thousand tons) have
made this region economically important and suitable for investment.
