“…Thus, this indicates that Millennials value social and cultural aspects, not just economic ones. It is noteworthy that, as other authors have found, residents’ positive attitudes towards tourism development greatly influences their intention to support (Song et al , 2017). Therefore, these attitudes are causally and significantly linked to the level of support that residents give to tourism development (Ouyang et al , 2017).…”

“…Furthermore, because of the negative impacts of tourism and the current pandemic, local government must take greater social responsibility in this respect (Gössling et al , 2020; OECD, 2020). In addition, understanding residents’ perceptions can facilitate local government policies and increase residents’ support for tourism development (Song et al , 2017; Stylidis, 2020).…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the impact of local government market orientation as perceived by Millennials on their intention to support tourism development. Design/methodology/approach An online survey administered to a sample of 418 Millennials was designed for descriptive and causal data analyses. Findings The results show that Millennials’ intention to support tourism is high and depends on perceived market orientation. In the proposed model, market orientation by local government directly predicts perceived benefits and attitudes, and indirectly, the intention to support. Economic benefits are not the only relevant benefits to Millennials. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of this work is related to the selection and combination of the internal and external variables included in the proposed model, given the great diversity of variables in the literature in this field. Practical implications This study allows us to predict and encourage Millennials’ intention to support tourism development through very few variables. This study is of theoretical and practical interest to local government, tourism firms, educators and researchers. These entities can, thus, encourage the support process collaboratively among Millennials. Originality/value This predictive study of Millennials’ intention to support includes variables that have not been previously studied together. Through market orientation by local government, the organizational world and young consumers are connected. The generational approach adopted allows the use of global actions to encourage Millennials’ support.

“…Researchers have often discussed residents' supportive attitudes regarding tourism impacts [27,37], as residents' attitudes towards tourism development and their perceptions of tourism impacts are crucial for sustainable tourism development [1,57]. Researchers who have studied residents' support for tourism have classified the impacts of tourism into three dimensions: socio-cultural, environmental, and economic [36,[58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67]. Therefore, tourism sustainability must encompass the triple bottom line, addressing those three dimensions [68].…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which residents’ perceptions of their place image can predict their perceptions of the impacts of tourism, and ultimately, to elucidate their support for sustainable tourism development in Midyat, Turkey. This city currently faces a range of negative impacts associated with tourism, such as inflation, high leakage, threats to family structures, environmental degradation, pollution, and crowding. At the same time, Midyat seeks to maximize the positive impacts of tourism, including job creation and employment, environmental protection, cultural and educational enrichment, and recreational opportunities. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a strategic shift in development. The study population consists of residents residing in Midyat, Turkey, from whom three hundred and fifty-six questionnaires were collected. PLS (Partial Least Squares) path analysis was utilized to analyze the research model constructed based on the literature. The results demonstrated that residents’ place image significantly predicted two out of three impacts of tourism, namely, socio-cultural and economic impacts. Additionally, residents’ perceptions of environmental and socio-cultural impacts were significant predictors of their support or opposition to sustainable tourism. While perceived environmental impacts have a positive effect on support for sustainable tourism, perceived economic impacts have a negative effect. This finding can guide tourism planners and professionals to make more informed decisions and take stronger steps toward sustainable tourism development. This study revealed that the quality of life, job opportunities, infrastructure, and economic income of Midyat’s residents are insufficient. However, the city is characterized by social attributes, such as friendliness, trust, and supportiveness. The results are limited to local residents, and using only one tourist stakeholder to assess sustainable tourism development is insufficient. Therefore, additional research must be performed to guarantee the involvement of other tourism stakeholders.

“…Due to the nature of tourism products and the increasingly competitive tourism marketplace, the use of residents' WOM may provide meaningful competitive advantages (Chen et al 2014). Although the relationship between residents' WOM intention and their support for tourism has not yet been analysed, many scholars have concluded that residents' impressions create favourable and positive outcomes (Deery et al 2012;Song et al 2017). Therefore, it is quite reasonable to think that those residents that tend to enhance WOM communication will likely be more predisposed to support tourism.…”

This research explores residents’ support for tourism by introducing—for the first time—the variable of residents’ word-of-mouth intention. The tested model proposes that residents’ support for tourism is influenced by residents’ word-of-mouth and tourism benefits; the model also examines the impacts of community attachment and community involvement on the benefits of tourism. The relationship between tourism benefits and residents’ word-of-mouth is the most significant indication of the tested model, followed by the linkage between tourism benefits and support for tourism. Besides this, the positive and significant effect of residents’ word-of-mouth on their support for tourism has been proven. The results stress the need for increased focus on the benefits of tourism by increasing community attachment, as they reveal that more attached residents lead to more positive perceptions of the benefits of tourism, consequently having a higher effect on their word-of-mouth intention and support for tourism.
