“…Likewise, Ward and Berno [13] suggested that older people tend to maintain more positive attitudes towards tourists. To the contrary, Williams and Lawson [14] and Cavus and Tanrisevdi [15] indicated that the older group in their study is the least supportive of tourism. Education also seems to have an impact on resident attitudes.…”

“…Older residents are more supportive of limited tourism development than the younger ones. Similarly, Williams and Lawson [14] and Cavus and Tanrisevdi [15] also suggested that the senior group in their study is the least supportive of tourism. Limited tourism development is also advocated by residents not working in the industry and those living closer to the central tourist zone.…”

This study makes two important contributions to the existing literature. On the one hand, it investigated tourism impacts as perceived by residents in two important historic cities in India (Puri and Varanasi). On the other hand, it analysed residents' perceived tourism impacts in relation to their evaluation of stage of destination development. A survey collected valid responses from 570 local residents, who display a high level of agreement concerning the positive economic and sociocultural contributions of tourism. Despite environmental concerns, respondents wish to attract more tourists and further develop infrastructure for tourism. Residents who perceive tourism to be in the development and full development/stagnation stages agree more strongly than those who consider tourism to be in the beginning stage that it increases employment opportunities and seasonality and stipulates cultural activities. In contrast, those who think tourism is in the beginning stage are more concerned about environmental pollution and thus advocate restrictions on the industry. Implications are suggested for tourism research, policy making, and planning.

“…However, the potential for increasing international tourism is great. Over the past three decades, numerous studies have been conducted to identify variables significantly influencing visitors' attitudes towards tourism (Brougham & Butler, 1981;Cavus & Tanrisevdi, 2002;Lankford, Chen, & Chen, 1994;Perdue, Long, & Allen, 1987)). A review of the literature revealed that most attitudinal studies have focused on examining the differences in tourist attitudes according to their socioeconomic and demographic attributes (Wang et al 2010).…”

The recreational behaviour of visitors to Karamjal Forest Station in Sundarban, Bangladesh, was determined by interviewing 150 visitors. The majority of visitors were locals from Bangladesh (90%); however, recreational behaviour varied significantly between local and foreign visitors. More than half of the visitors reported coming to Sundarban for the first time. Most of the visitors were travelling for recreation and derived satisfaction from watching wildlife, particularly deer and crocodiles, and the beauty of the forest. Foreign visitors expressed more satisfaction with boat journeys than local visitors, while less educated visitors expressed more dissatisfaction with boat travel than highly educated visitors. To the question, 'How would you describe the quality of the recreational benefits of nature-based tourism in Karamjal?' most visitors answered "poor" or "very poor". Visitor perception varied significantly by income level, and people of higher financial status were more satisfied than people of lower financial status with the recreational benefits of nature-based tourism in Karamjal.

“…However, the extant literature reveals a lack of consensus as to the differences in perceptions between young and old residents. While some scholars (see, for example, Cavus & Tanrisevdi, 2002) are of the view that the older a resident grows, the more negative their perceptions of tourism development tend to become, whereas others (Deng et al, 2011) argue that the opposite is true. Tomjenovic and Faulkner (2000) support the view that the older residents tend to have more positive perceptions of tourism development than do the younger ones.…”

This study sought to determine the sociodemographic influences on residents' perceptions of tourism development in Zimbabwe. The study emanates from a concern over the lack of such a research angle in the context of subSaharan African tourism research. Adopting an explorative quantitative design, a structured survey was used to generate 246 valid responses from the residents in Harare. The results obtained showed that there were both similarities and differences in the perceptions of residents with different sociodemographic characteristics. The study brought to light that sociodemographic characteristics are an important variable in determining the influences of residents' perceptions of tourism development. This article offers developing destinations augmented insight into the influence of demographic characteristics on residents' perceptions of tourism development, as well as discernments respecting tourism planning, policy formulation, strategy implementation, and tourism marketing in transforming communities and enhancing destination's image.
