“…Community leaders and economic development experts see it as an opportunity to increase employment, tax revenues and economic diversification [27]. However, when planning destinations, these leaders and experts must take into account that they need to promote sustainable tourism environments that benefit all stakeholders, namely, residents, visitors and local tourism businesses [28].…”

“…Over the last decades, researchers have begun to analyse these factors, finding that community attachment is among the more important variables [29]. In addition, maintaining a high quality of life in the local community is vital to improving residents' attitudes towards tourism development as a source of socioeconomic benefits for the surrounding region [28].…”

“…When planning a new destination or revitalising an existing one, destination managers need to avoid or mitigate negative factors that can affect residents' quality of life, especially in high season when tourist flows can overwhelm the carrying capacity of infrastructure and local resources [28]. In the present study, quality of life was defined as 'an aggregation of residents' perceptions of economic, social and environmental conditions, as well as comprehensive perceptions of well-being in the host community, embracing residents' subjective well-being and objective well-being' [28] (p. 199).…”

“…Positive economic, sociocultural and environmental impacts improve residents' quality of life [10], but residents' attitudes towards tourism and their level of support for tourism development and their perceived quality of life can vary depending on their evaluation of the cost-benefit ratio [17]. Jeon et al [28] analysed the impacts of tourism and their relationship with residents' quality of life. The cited authors found that economic benefits and environmental sustainability have a positive effect on quality of life, while social costs have an inverse effect on quality of life.…”

Abstract:Residents are an essential part of tourism destinations, which makes gaining a deeper understanding of residents' attitudes towards tourism development necessary because their favourable attitudes can contribute to destinations' success. This study sought to understand to what extent rural residents' perceptions of tourism development in their region affect their intention to support further tourism development. The present research also focused on the influence of the variables of community attachment and perceived quality of life on the relationship between residents' perceptions of and intentions to support this development. This study concentrated on the case of olive oil tourism development in the Sierra de Gata and Las Hurdes districts in Spain.To test the proposed model, the data were collected from a sample of 245 residents in this region. Partial least squares was used to assess the model's accuracy. The results highlight the importance of residents' perceptions and their community attachment and perceived quality of life to destination managers who plan and develop tourism projects.

Given the increasing risks from disasters and crises, prioritizing resilient and sustainable tourism development has become imperative. Using resilience theory, this research proposed an integrated tourism‐community resilience‐quality of life (QOL) framework, considering both the recurring major natural hazards and the COVID‐19 crisis in a host community. Based on the integrated framework, we tested the individual‐level relationships between tourism, community resilience, and QOL. We surveyed 339 residents in Florida, a state which faces high risks from natural hazards and infectious diseases. Findings showed that community resilience significantly mediated the relationship between tourism and QOL and demonstrated the different mediating roles of community resilience by the disaster and crisis. These findings can help community practitioners understand how community resilience functions in the positive and/or negative relationships between tourism and QOL during a disaster/crisis, eventually supporting resilient and sustainable tourism development.
