“…Much like Fan et al (2020), Mart ın-Mart ın et al ( 2020) undertake their research using a mixed methods approach. The last article within this area of research, by Wegerer and Nadegger (2020), utilizes netnographical analysis to investigate activists' justification for posting degrowth discourse on social media platforms. As such, protection of the natural environment and disinterest of capitalism within the Austrian Alps were salient drivers.…”

“…In this special issue alone, eight of the 22 articles focused on one of these two topics. Here again, we suggest that future researchers should examine outcomes of residents' perceptions of overtourism and peer-to-peer accommodations such as intentions to act, such as compromised relations between residents and tourists (Cheung & Li, 2019), protest and resistance (Smith et al, 2019), support of degrowth (Wegerer & Nadegger, 2020), and civic engagement (Torres, 2021). Of course, residents' empowerment may also factor into perceptions of overtourism and peer-to-peer accommodations (given its noted use within this issue).…”

“…One avenue by which to surmise greater outcomes of social impacts would be to investigate perspectives via social media. This approach has grown in recent years (Woosnam et al, 2021) and in fact was highlighted within this special issue by Nunkoo et al (2020) and Wegerer and Nadegger (2020). Assessing the dynamic nature of social media posts over time would go far to see how residents' perceived social impacts change over time.…”

This lead article introduces the double special issue dedicated to methodological and theoretical advancements in social impacts of tourism research. We begin by providing an overview of five key developmental stages of research within this area: Definitions, typologies, and conceptual model development; the advent of case study-based, atheoretical empirical inquiry; scale design, development, and testing; further scale development/refinement and theoretical application; and theoretical model development and testing. Brief evolutionary histories of the methodological and theoretical advancements of research dedicated to social impacts of tourism are then discussed. This includes a review of the most pertinent predictor variables (along with a visual display of each and key studies) in explaining residents' perceptions of social impacts of tourism and a thorough review of most frequently used theoretical frameworks. Following this, brief synopses of the articles are provided along with key themes (e.g. resident-tourist relationships, social impacts and residents' attitudes, residents' empowerment, overtourism, and methodologies) and salient points of each work. In closing, we suggest numerous lines of inquiry that will continue to advance research into social impacts of tourism. Though these studies were undertaken prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, we emphasize that future work should be designed with the pandemic in mind.
