Considering the development of tourism industry in recent years and the necessity of planning in this field, understanding the climatic conditions of the residential regions can be one of the most important criterias for planning in the field of tourism. One of the factors affecting the life, comfort and health of humans is climate. Man has been directly and indirectly affected by climate since his birth. Nowadays, studying the effect of climate on life, health, comfort and as one of the scientific indicators (human bioclimatology) is studied. In the meantime, a number of digital indicators have been proposed by scientists to study biochemistry and bioclimatology, one of the most important of which is the combination of temperature indices of physiology based on the energy balance of human body. In this study, using the physiological equivalent thermometer (PET) and predicted mean vote (PMV) indices, the appropriate time for tourism in West Azarbaijan province has been investigated. The result of the study, which was carried out through the Ray Man model, shows that during July and August, the climate of comfort is relatively convenient and the months of June and September are adequate in terms of human comfort for tourist utilization in this province; there is cold stress with varying degrees during other months. However the heat stress period has not been observed at any of the stations in the province. Obviously, attention will affect the utilization of tourism programs in this province.
