Today, climate indicators have received special attention due to the multifaceted nature of the climate and the complexity of using climate variables. These indicators can determine the appropriate time for tourists to visit the destination by determining the favorable months for tourism. Accordingly, in the present study, with the aim of sustainably utilizing the natural capacities of the Poldukhtar wetlands no-hunting area for the sustainable development of nature tourism and also promoting its position in the country's tourism industry, the favorable months for tourism were identified using two climate indices, TCI and Becker. According to the results obtained from the TCI index, the most favorable weather conditions for tourism in this area are in excellent conditions in the months of October and November are in excellent conditions, and the least favorable are the months of May, June, July, and August. The results of the Becker index also showed that the months of November, December, January and February, with mild and pleasant conditions during the day and cool nights, are suitable for the presence of tourists in the region. In general, the results of both the TCI and Becker indices indicate that from autumn to late winter is the best time in terms of tourism climate, while from late spring to the end of summer, it provides the most unfavorable conditions for the presence of visitors due to the extreme heat. Accordingly, estimating the comfort climate of tourism in the prohibited hunting area of Poldukhtar wetlands is of particular importance, given the abundance of tourist and natural attractions, as well as the ability to develop various recreational activities in the region. On the other hand, this area, as one of the areas protected by the Department of the Environment, has biological and conservation restrictions that managers and decision-makers can help protect as much as possible by properly planning tourism during the months of comfortable climate and considering the service capacity of this area during the peak tourism seasons.
