This research was conducted in the international and Adaptive high school of Tehran and the data collection tool was an interview form and a questionnaire. The research method is quantitative-qualitative and the results of data analysis show that Iranian and non-Iranian students were most popular in food tourism and visiting historical attractions. From their point of view, they pay attention to tangible heritage such as historical sites and museums. Intangible heritage such as food, clothing and handicrafts should be prioritized
