“…These include: 1) community services, 2) physical attributes, 3) social environment and, 4) entertainment activities. "Community services" reflects the very basic requirements residents have from the place they live in and is analogous to the "government services" dimension noted in place marketing and branding studies (Merrilees et al, 2009;Santos et al, 2007). The other three relate to the physical and social characteristics, which give a place its' unique image (Merrilees et al, 2009).…”

Please reference as: Stylidis, D., . Residents' support for tourism development: The role of residents' place image and perceived tourism impacts. Tourism Management, 45(0), 260-274. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016Management, 45(0), 260-274. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10. /j.tourman.2014 ABSTRACTDrawing on the triple bottom line approach for tourism impacts (economic, sociocultural and environmental) and adopting a non-forced approach for measuring residents' perception of these impacts, this study explores the role of residents' place image in shaping their support for tourism development. The tested model proposes that residents' place image affects their perceptions of tourism impacts and in turn their support for tourism development. The results stress the need for a more flexible and resident-oriented measurement of tourism impacts, revealing that more favorable perceptions of the economic, socio-cultural and environmental impacts lead to greater support. Moreover, while residents' place image has been largely neglected by tourism development studies, the findings of this study reveal its significance in shaping residents' perception of tourism impacts as well as their level of support. The practical implications of the findings for tourism planning and development are also discussed.
