Abstract
The study seeks insights into the information needs of residents of destination areas for a more effective participation in community tourism planning. Interviews were conducted with residents of Cap-Pelé, a small coastal community in New Brunswick, Canada, to identify the main issues at stake with respect to a proposal to establish a tourist park in the community. An assessment of official reports and plans indicated that information was lacking on a number of issues. The study also revealed that residents were not very familiar with the information that was available, a situation which, analysis suggests, may have an overall adverse effect on resident perceptions and general opinions.
