Abstract

As domestic tourism gains prominence today, local tourism is also undergoing change. When a community is established as a tourist destination, its members diversify, resulting in a variety of situations. Before becoming tourist destinations, communities are inhabited by the local populace. This study aims to determine the effect of emotional solidarity between locals and tourists on tourism development support. It was conducted from January 7 to February 28, 2022 via an online/offline survey of 302 Hongdae-area residents, and the following are the results of the analysis. According to the research hypothesis, emotional solidarity had a significant effect on perceived benefits, perceived costs, and community attachment, and perceived benefits, perceived costs, and community attachment had both positive (+) and negative (-) effects on government trust. Third, perceived benefits and perceived costs had a positive (+) effect on supporting tourism development, but the research hypothesis was not supported because of the negative (-) effect of community attachment. Finally, it was discovered that government trust and emotional solidarity have a positive impact on supporting tourism development, and that the theoretical and practical implications derived from this study can be used as a foundation for tourism development in the Hongdae region.
