감천문화마을 주민들이 지각한 관광영향, 기관신뢰 및 관광지지의 관계

This study aims to analyze the structural relationships among the perceived tourism impacts by the residents, institution trust, and support for tourism. The survey was conducted with the support of 18 heads working in Gamcheon 2-dong, where Gamcheon Culture Village is located. Of the 300 questionnaires distributed, 270 were returned, and 235 were used for subsequent statistical analysis. As a result, four hypotheses unique to the Village were supported. Specifically, the perceived positive and negative impacts of tourism positively influenced support for tourism. The perceived positive impacts of tourism positively affected to the institution trust, and institution trust positively affected to support for tourism. These results suggest that positive impacts of tourism as well as the residents’ trust to a local government act as a influencing factor of tourism support. It is also suggested that the relationship between the negative impacts of tourism and residents’ support for tourism is undesirable because it is a temporary exchange relationship.

Resident connection to nature and attitudes towards tourism: findings from three different rural nature tourism destinations in Poland

Despite the growing literature arguing for the consideration of community perspectives in tourism destination governance, little is understood about how residents' connection to nature affects their perceptions of and responses to tourism. This is especially relevant for rural areas rich in nature as many of them have become refugees for urban dwellers seeking recreation during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study combines the Nature's Contributions to People framework and Weber's Theory of Formal and Substantive Rationality to shed light on how rural residents of three nature-based tourism destinations connect with nature and how this connection to nature affects perceptions of empowerment from tourism and ultimately support for tourism. Results provide credence to the importance of including measures of residents' connections to nature when examining attitudes towards tourism in nature areas with connections to nature having significant and positive influences on psychological empowerment and social empowerment at all three destinations and direct and positive effects on support for tourism across two of the three destinations. Furthermore, results suggest that understanding the role nature connection plays in how residents perceive changes within their community can help manage locally emerging conflicts within rural tourism-dependent communities.

Institutional provision of inclusive recreational nature management: background status and requirements

Introduction. The fundamental principles of inclusive development are equality of opportunity, availability of all types of resources, equality and fairness in the distribution of income and benefits. The main message of inclusive recreational nature management is the creation of equal opportunities for the use of natural recreational resources and areas for the well-being and quality of life of people. Realization of priorities of the organization of recreational activity is not possible without the developed institutional maintenance. Defining the leading role of state authorities and civil society representatives, which establish a system of laws, rights and responsibilities, "rules of the game" and develop a set of mechanisms for their close institutionalized interaction, it is necessary to form institutions within which public representatives reconcile contradictions and determine common interests.
 Aim and tasks. The purpose of the study is to study the state and develop directions for the development of institutional support for inclusive tourism and recreational nature.
 Results. The article examines the state of institutional support for inclusive tourist and recreational nature management in Ukraine. The essence and its content are determined, the documents according to which it is determined are analyzed. The domestic legislative and normative-legal base of regulation of nature use in general and recreational in particular is studied, where separate principles of inclusive development are laid down. At the same time, a significant layer of problems remains unresolved, including the formation of new principles, forms of management to prevent the degradation of natural recreational resources, their diversity and sustainability. The interaction of formal institutions and institutes (legislative and normative base, system of state regulation, bodies of state administration and local self-government, public organizations, approved norms and norms of nature use) and informal institutions has to promote inclusive recreational nature use.
 Conclusions. The study of the state and directions of development of institutional support of inclusive recreational nature management allowed to determine that the implementation of an inclusive approach requires: changing the structure and stereotype of recreational needs of people and restructuring the economy of recreational nature management; reducing economic and social inequality of people to meet their recreational needs and ensuring equal access to valuable natural recreational resources.

EFFECT OF CIVIL WAR ON THE PERFOMANCE OF TOURISM INDUSTRY IN AFRICA .A CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW

Purpose: The tourism industry is playing an increasingly important role in the global economy, contributing 5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), 30 percent of service exports, and 235 million jobs. The general objective of the study was to examine effect of civil war on the performance of tourism industry in Africa.
 Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.

ІNFORMATION SUPPORT FOR TOURISM AND HOTEL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

The article substantiates the need to enhance the information support for tourism and hotel business which is currently associated with a range of information and methodological issues, such as the assessment of tourist flows; tourism and hotel market satisfaction, congruence between customer needs and supply in the tourist services market; assessing load infrastructure as well as anthropogenic effects on the environment; study on the state of industry development and measuring of its contribution into the total gross domestic product. The paper presents a research methodology to explore tourism and hotel business settings, in particular the regional tourist services market, based on the market environment evaluation, identification of factors affecting tourism actors’ performance efficiency and estimation of their impact on final economic outcomes. The above methodology involves a comprehensive approach to the application of theoretical and applied principles of sectoral and territorial analysis and aims at building the regional tourism policy key drivers. It is argued that in the context of new risks and challenges, modern Ukraine should pursue a robust constructive recreational and tourism policy. Depending on the level at which the policy is defined and implemented, this study makes out government policy, regional policy, and the policy of individual tourism and hotel businesses. As an effective solution, the findings suggest modeling a government recreational policy based on strategic planning which translates into a comprehensive document that includes analytical information and business forecasting, as well as an action plan including a set of activities and projects to be implemented by market participants in the tourism and hotel sector.

Smart governance for heritage tourism destinations: Contextual factors and destination management organization perspectives

The sustainable development of tourism is a major concern for destination management organisations (DMOs) in heritage tourism. Smart tourism advocates claim that technologically-driven innovations can help DMOs to optimise tourism development by addressing issues such as carrying capacity, stakeholder management and community involvement. This study enhances the understanding of smart tourism governance (SG), showing how contextual factors affect DMO perspectives of SG. A mixed-methods approach was used to investigate heritage tourism destinations in the United Kingdom. The results demonstrate that well-established DMOs do not perceive SG as potentially beneficial, as they already perform well in many areas in which SG promises improvements, such as citizen engagement, decision-making, and stakeholder engagement. Despite this, this research highlights the aspects of SG that these destinations can take advantage of as social inclusion, environmental performance and the provision of citizen-centric services. All of these can help heritage tourism destinations to optimise their tourism development. This research additionally demonstrates the effect of contextual factors, such as the level of public-sector support for tourism and the growing influence of non-tourism stakeholders in destination management, on DMO perceptions of SG and makes recommendations for how developments in the use of SG by DMOs can be made, in light of these.

바하마의 크루즈 관광산업에 대한 주민 인식 연구

The purpose of the present study was to examine residents’ perceptions of cruise-tourism impacts on attitude and perceived Quality of life toward, and support for, cruise tourism in the Bahamas. Approximately 500 potential participants were contacted using an online survey distributed during August 2020. These potential participants were all Bahamians, all over 18, and all living in or close to successful ports of call within the Bahamas. A dataset of 270 useable questionnaires was derived from 283 returned surveys. Multiple regression analysis was then employed in order to examine the proposed conceptual hypotheses. Residents’ perceptions of the positive and negative (economic, environmental, social, and cultural) impacts of cruise tourism were shown partially to affect attitudes toward, support for cruise tourism, and perceived QoL toward cruise tourism.

Resident Support for Tourism Development: Application of a Simplified Resident Empowerment through Tourism Scale on Developing Destinations in Flanders

While the potential macro-economic benefits of tourism development have been well-established, the negative social effects of uninhibited growth have received increased attention in the last decade, emphasizing the central role of communities in the search for a sustainable balance in tourism. This paper focuses on the relatively underdeveloped Scheldeland region in Flanders (Belgium), where a strategic goal is to leverage cultural and natural heritage to boost development. Via a resident questionnaire based on a simplified version of the Resident Empowerment through Tourism Scale (RETS), we identified support for tourism development and deconstructed the drivers of this support. The objective was to empirically validate the research instrument and underlying theory in a situation of relative ‘undertourism’ and prospective future growth. The questionnaire collected 2058 responses, and the partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) results indicated that support for tourism, which was generally high across the seven municipalities, was mainly affected by social, psychological, and political empowerment, with personal economic benefits not playing a significant role. These results show that social exchange theory (SET) as a theoretical basis for potential tourism support has limited validity in currently underdeveloped destinations. Secondly, comparatively speaking, the municipalities with the lowest tourism development were least supportive of tourism growth, with an increase in tourism intensity seemingly leading to increasing support due to a higher awareness of accrued benefits through tourism.

Do hedonic and utilitarian values increase pro-environmental behavior and support for festivals?

ABSTRACT This study integrated a theory of consumption values and place attachment theory to hypothesize the relationships among visitors’ consumption values such as hedonic and utilitarian values and their impact on place attachment, attitude, pro-environmental behavior, and support for tourism. The results demonstrate that hedonic and utilitarian values play an important role in predicting place attachment and attitude. Place attachment is found to be significant in measuring attendees’ attitude toward pro-environmental behavior and support for tourism. This study supports the theory of consumption values such that festival managers should consider hedonic and utilitarian values of the attendees’ attitude.

A Destination’s Social Sustainability: Linking Tourism Development to Residents’ Quality of Life

Tourism positively contributes to quality of life (satisfaction with life and emotional wellbeing) of the travelling population, but the question remains how tourism affects quality of life of the host population. Residents’ quality of life is an essential aspect of sustainable tourism development and offers an attractive destination attribute for marketing. Research suggests that too much interaction with tourism may reduce hosts’ quality of life. Low quality of life, typically demonstrated with a low level of satisfaction with life and poor emotional wellbeing, leads to development of antitourism beliefs and reduces residents’ support for tourism. This may impede local policy makers and the tourism industry from developing tourism. High tourism may create income but may also induce public expenses on the account of social costs of tourism. The present study investigates the association of hosts’ satisfaction with life with objective (level of tourism development) and subjective (perceived interaction with tourists) levels of tourism development. Results indicate that neither the level of tourism development nor interactions with tourists predict hosts’ satisfaction with life and their emotional wellbeing. These findings challenge the existing prevailing assumption that a high level of tourism negatively affects residents’ quality of life, by default. A call for empirical evidence on the threshold of quantitative (for example frequency) and qualitative (for example, the nature of the interaction) tourism development is needed to reveal how local authorities can better ensure positive social impacts of tourism on the host population and tourism social sustainability. Keywords: sustainable tourism, social sustainability, quality of life, residents, destination

ВЛИЯНИЕ ПАНДЕМИИ КОРОНАВИРУСА НА ИНДУСТРИЮ ТУРИЗМА В РОССИИ

The tourism market in recent decades has been one of the main components of the economy of most countries, bringing significant profits to the state budget. The state of the industry directly depends on the volume of tourist traffic. The article examines the main factors of the negative impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, which led to a catastrophic decrease in tourist traffic and the corresponding economic losses of the entire tourism industry in our country: due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus, almost all countries have closed their borders to tourists; in Russia, due to the introduction of quarantine measures and a self-isolation regime, domestic tourism has also ceased for a while; many projects have been frozen or canceled. At the same time, enterprises in the tourism industry began to look for new ways and opportunities for survival. As an example, the article analyzes the experience of re-profiling Moscow hotels for the temporary placement of medical personnel who are fighting coronavirus infection, and the role of the Moscow authorities in financing and stimulating this process. Likewise, measures of state support for domestic tourism against the background of an improvement in the epidemiological situation are considered and a conclusion is made about a significant increase in the role of the state in supporting the industry.

Revisiting residents’ support for tourism development: The role of tolerance

This study revisits the topic of resident support and extends the conventional framework on social exchange theory. A conceptual model was developed by incorporating residents' tolerance for tourism development and tested based on survey data from 242 residents in Qinyan, China, an ancient town. Results indicate that residents' support for tourism was affected by perceived personal benefits and positive tourism impacts. Residents’ tolerance for tourism played a significant moderating role in the relationship between perceived negative tourism impacts and support for tourism development. Residents with lower tolerance for tourism were more sensitive to negative tourism impacts and thus tended to express lower support for tourism development. Theoretical and managerial applications of these findings were also discussed.

Support for tourism: the roles of attitudes, subjective wellbeing, and emotional solidarity

Research models applying social exchange theory to examine factors predicting residents’ support for tourism have been challenged for their inability to explain support fully. Recent studies drawing from other theories indicated factors that arguably play a role in the social exchange relationship between perceptions of tourism impacts and support. One factor of interest is the cognitive appraisal process eliciting emotional solidarity with tourists (ES), which arguably predicts support. According to cognitive appraisal theory (CAT), residents' emotional feelings toward tourists result from a mental evaluation of how tourism is perceived to impact one's wellbeing. Although tourism studies applying CAT are emerging, knowledge is limited about the cognitive appraisal process that elicits ES. This article examines the nature of a cognitive appraisal process eliciting ES. Data were obtained from a random sample of 1477 residents of Oregon, United States. Results from a structural equation model, show that perceived positive tourism impacts strongly predict ES. Additionally, perceived positive tourism impacts indirectly impact ES through the expected change of wellbeing. This study also reveals that perceived negative community tourism impacts have a negative relationship with ES. Moreover, ES strongly predicts support. The article closes with a discussion of research and management implications.
