Abstract
ABSTRACT Peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodations have often received severe criticism from residents. Although studies have reported that residents often determine their attitude towards tourism by comparing its perceived positive and negative impacts, how these perceived impacts are formed has not been well investigated. Using Kyoto – a popular tourism destination in Japan – as a study context, this research aimed to address this gap by exploring how attitudes are subject to hidden influences, such as xenophobia and social tolerance. In line with past studies, this study found that there were significant relationships between perceived positive and negative impacts and support for P2P accommodations. Findings revealed that perceived positive impacts are significantly influenced by social tolerance and trust in local government, while perceived negative impacts are significantly influence by xenophobia. The results suggested that bias against foreigners has an impact on perceptions of the various effects of P2P accommodations.
