And after tourism has become an industry, its development requires standing on its components and knowing the trends of its movement, and with the aim of identifying the demographic, economic, social and cultural characteristics of tourists and the activities and events that tourists practice in their spare time, and to reach an explanation of the tourism movement and to diagnose the effectiveness of the tourism activity in it, the Zakho district was chosen as a location for the study. Two types of data were relied on, the first of which is the data and the monthly statistical information recorded on the number of frequent guests to hotels and motels in the district, and the second is the data obtained from the results of the questionnaire distributed to tourists according to the tourist sites in the tourist season to show the trends and desires of tourists and know their impressions about the sites Tourism in terms of the services provided and the nature of the obstacles.
