This study aims to determine the tourism characteristics of each of the sites of Kassab and Mashkita - which are two important tourist sites in the Lattakia region and are distinct in terms of location and tourist characteristics - using geographic information system (GIS), and then evaluate the tourism potential of each site in order to make a comparison between them according to a set of the criteria and factors are: landscape (visibility, land uses), topography (elevation, slope), accessibility (proximity to tourist sites and services, distance from roads). the land suitability map for tourism was created, based on the combination of the criteria and factors with their respective weights. The degree of suitability of each factor was classified as highly suitable (S1), moderately suitable (S2), lowly suitable (S3) and not suitable (N) for tourism.
