Residents’ perceived impacts of all-inclusive resorts in Antalya

Abstract

This study examined Antalya residents' perceptions of the impacts of all-inclusive resorts (AIRs) in the Turkish coastal destination. Perceptions were examined to determine if they significantly differed across residential demographics. All told, 660 residents completed the on-site, self-administered survey instrument. Exploratory factor analysis of the Perceptions of All-Inclusive Resorts (PAIR) Scale revealed four unique factors (e.g. three focused on negative impacts and one on positive impacts). In four of the five multiple analysis of variance models, significant differences in PAIR factors were found among residents. Results revealed that residents who were male, older, employed in the tourism industry and less educated perceived AIR impacts more negatively. Results are explained through the social exchange theory and practical implications, along with future research opportunities, are offered.

Influence of residents' perceptions of tourism development on their affective commitment, altruistic behavior, and civic virtue for community

“…This means that those who perceive tourism development positively tend to feel pride in their village, have a higher level of community attachment (emotion), increased sociability, and positive attitudes toward their community (Erul et al, 2020; Maruyama et al, 2019). This finding is consistent with the results of Nicholas et al (2009), Woosnam and Erul (2017), and Lee et al (2018), who have reported that community attachment is significantly influenced by residents' positive economic, cultural, and environmental perceptions. As with several previous studies (see Carmeli, 2005; Ghosh et al, 2012; Purba et al, 2015; Shore & Wayne, 1993), the present study found that affective commitment played a vital role in predicting citizenship behavior.…”

“…One of the main characteristics of this theory is that residents are more likely to be positive about tourism development if they can benefit from the exchange of resources. In other words, residents would expect substantial compensation (e.g., monetary rewards, improved community facilities) in return for allowing tourism development in the community, which is sometimes perceived differently depending on individual characteristics (Woosnam & Erul, 2017). According to Maruyama et al (2019), a positive perception of tourism development also has a beneficial impact on the relationship between indigenous people and migrants in the same region.…”

“…However, to establish successful and sustainable community‐based tourism, residents need to see that benefits and positive effects of tourism can compensate for its drawbacks (Cheng et al, 2019; Nunkoo & Ramkissoon, 2011; Yoon et al, 2001). Several studies have shown that when locals benefit from tourism, they are more likely to participate in and support tourism development (Lee & Jan, 2019; Sirakaya et al, 2002; Stylidis et al, 2014; Woosnam & Erul, 2017). As previously mentioned, SET explains that if residents receive tangible and/or intangible benefits from tourism development, they are more likely to adopt pro‐tourism behaviors toward tourism development projects, leading to positive citizen behavior and support for tourism‐related businesses.…”

Developing a Model for Sustainable Hotels in Northern Cyprus

“…These social, economic, cultural, and political changes are due to the sociocultural interactions among tourists, locals and the hospitality sector [56]. In general, sustainable tourism growth needs to highlight the socio-cultural benefits it provides for host regions [57][58][59][60]. In addition, involvement of the community does not simply mean the individuals outside of the organizational entity.…”
