Iran has an advanced tourism potential in terms of its geographical location, historical, religious, natural and cultural structure. Although Iran ranks 10th in the world in terms of tourist attractions, it is among the lowest income countries in the world in terms of tourism income. Education is the most effective way to break this vicious circle, to bring the quality of the service sector in tourism to world standards, to understand the importance of the concept of tourism and to raise awareness. The way to achieve this is possible with the curriculum which is one of the important tools of the educational environment and the textbooks prepared accordingly. In this study, it is aimed to determine how far the concept of tourism, which is included in the Social Studies Program and the re-written seven and eighth grade social studies textbooks, is processed and used at the concept, visual and activity level. Document analysis technique, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. According to the findings obtained in the study, it shows that the seventh grade social studies textbooks are mostly included in the social studies textbooks belonging to both classes, and information and images related to the concept of tourism.
