Abstract
Increasing the socio-economic effects caused by the tourism development in the local population, they adopt some attitudes according to the impacts directly or indirectly perceived. However, some of this impact can be considered positive or negative, according to different perspectives. The issue of the resident-tourist relationship has been much-discussed recently. Therefore, many case studies are being conducted that address the impacts on both residents and tourists. The goal of this manuscript is to analyze the attitudes of local residents to the development of tourism in the urban monument zone Předhradí. Primary data were collected in a questionnaire survey for residents who have a permanent residence in a municipality of Předhradí in 2020. In our research, we tried to identify the significant negative impacts of tourism development. In the same way, we evaluate how the locals see positive effects on their quality of life conducted with tourism development. The research finds out that local respondents perceived some negative impacts to increase the economic perspective, as they referred to in the higher traffic load or increased noise. The pandemic crises are perceived as a game-changer in the tourism industry. For that reason, we suggest the primary considerations for future research not only with the academic perfective as for the practical point of view. The local population’s entrepreneurship attitudes must be one of the tools to assume the resilience toward the tourism development impacts.
Highlights
Tourism has played in history and may play in the future a positive and significant role in society, it can bring adverse socio-economic effects if managed poorly (Markovicand Klaric, 2015)
In connection with the research goal, the following research questions were posed: What are the significant negative impacts of tourism development according to locals? Do locals see positive impacts on their quality of life conducted with tourism development?
We suggest extending the analysis to other sensitives effects of tourism development through the local population’s attitudes in different countries (Passagem et al, 2020)
Summary
Tourism has played in history and may play in the future a positive and significant role in society, it can bring adverse socio-economic effects if managed poorly (Markovicand Klaric, 2015). Its original meaning of traveling to the unknown, to places outside of the ordinary, where visitors experience a sense of excitement by directly contacting the local community, has changed (Pompurová et al, 2020). We can state that the possible negative socio-economic effects certainly stand out from the local identity’s weakening under tourism and weekend visitors’ influence (Markovicand Klaric, 2015). Many case studies are Attitudes of Local Population being conducted that address the impacts on both residents and tourists. Markovicand Klaric (2015) further state that the potential threat is the consumption of the most valuable areas for tourism, thereby reducing the possibility of using it by the domestic population
