Visiting the forest is one of the most important ecotourism activities and the Arasbaran forest is known as a unique region for nature-based tourism in northwest Iran. To illustrate the tourism climate potential of the Arasbaran forest, this study was conducted using Tourism Climate Index (TCI) and Holiday Climate Index (HCI). Analytical results indicated that the most optimal climatic conditions were in the spring and summer seasons in the region. TCI results classified the study area as having “Excellent” to “Ideal” category with values of 86 to 92. The spring and summer seasons were more pleasant for tourism activities for the period 2001 to 2018. Results of HCI indicated that the study area has an “Excellent” to “Ideal” category with values of 86 to 94 and the spring is more pleasant for tourism activities from 2001 to 2018. These seasons were selected mainly due to the moderate improvement of the thermal comfort in the spring and summer of this area compared to other surrounding areas, a slight increase in sunny hours in the tourism season, as well as the holidays, becoming more frequent in the summer months. These results may represent fundamental and useful background information for the tourist industry decision-makers.
