“…The factors which influence residents' perceptions and attitudes, as well as the nature and the extent of the impact are likely to be different in each community. Social structure of a local community has a major bearing on its ability to absorb positively the different norms and values brought by tourists (Mansfeld 1992). Nzama (2008) has stated that there is a strong positive relationship between the extent of the community in tourism development and their perceptions towards an increase in tourism development.…”

“…Although some researchers reported no relationship between length of residence and attitude towards tourism Clements et al, 1993), others have reported a negative relationship. That is, the longer people have lived in the community, the more likely they are to have negative attitudes towards tourism development (Mansfeld, 1992;Stynes and Stewart, 1993;Ryan and Montgomery, 1994;Brunt and Courtney, 1999). Research into other social factors indicates that the state of the local economy (poverty), home ownership and different geographical regions in a country can all influence resident attitudes towards tourism.…”

With the tourism industry expanding post-2001, research on the impacts of tourism development continues to be important. Previous research has focused both on the types of impacts on the residents and the segmentation of the host community. Most of these studies have used attitudes as the clustering base. Although the resultant cluster groups have been able to discriminate community groups who either support or oppose future tourism development, these groups are difficult to identify in the community and the influence these attitudes have on the behaviour of residents remains unknown. This research investigated the link between positive and negative attitudes and the residents' intentions to act either to support or protest future tourism development. The results found no significant relationship between negative intentions to act (protest) and demographics, attitudes or the various community cluster groups. However, positive intentions to act (support future development) were related to gender, age, education, life cycle, length of residence and tourism business connection. Further, positive intentions to become more involved in tourism development within the community were related to both positive and negative attitudes. Finally, this research found that residents who traditionally involved themselves in proactive community groups had the strongest intention to ensure future tourism development benefited the community. Implications for the tourism industry, local government and the management of future tourism development were explored.

“…A society's carrying capacity is considered saturated when locals feel that tourists are a nuisance rather than a benefit. When the mark has been overstepped, the tourist space becomes a sphere of conflict [94,98], of combat among the various actors representing the different interest groups, each of which has a different take on the impact of tourism [113] because of their varying interests. Social resistance and confrontation emerges between tourists and residents, tourists and workers, entrepreneurs and workers, neighbours and entrepreneurs and between conventional entrepreneurs and new sharing economy entrepreneurs and their disruptive innovations.…”

Abstract:The aim of this article is to analyse the social and political capacity of cities affected by cultural tourism. An investigation is carried out into the state of the situation in saturated destinations, the problems this poses to tourist sustainability and the positions of the various different interest groups. In Europe, many cultural cities-cum-tourist hotspots have reached such high levels of socio-political saturation that the resident population's capacity for carrying tourism has become overstretched. This has led to a state of irritation among the local population. Social movements now include this on their agenda but the various different interest groups (residents, political groups, entrepreneurs, management bodies) all react differently. We present data relating to the case of Barcelona, with analyses of residents' and tourists' opinions, the actions of social mobilization carried out by pressure groups, media repercussion and the reactions of the business sector and political groups. We examine data collected from surveys and opinions carried in the media. The sustainability and management of interests indicate changes in both the number and the type of tourists, the occupation of public spaces, the distribution of profit among entrepreneurs, residents and the political and economic model of society in the future.
