This paper highlights distribution of tourism facilities in Semnan and compares them based upon Ashworth,
Tunbridge and Getz models. Data analyzed by SPSS and T-test shows that despite of the existing many historical and cultural
attractions of the Semnan and its location in the path of ancient Silk Road and also modern Tehran-Mashhad railway, optimal
use of existing functions are not performed, because of inappropriate distribution of resources and facilities. In this paper, we
have investigated optimal locations of facilities using GIS. Necessary suggestions have been provided to attract more tourists
and to improve Semnan tourism planning.
