This paper investigates the community perceptions toward economic and environmental impacts of tourism in Shiraz, Iran. Special focus is on the differences in perceptions between the Old and New Districts of Shiraz. The study demonstrates that there are broadly similar views among the community leaders and community residents from both districts of Shiraz. In fact, a high percentage of the answers obtained highlighted positive aspects environmental and economic impacts of tourism toward local communities. According to the survey, the strongest and favourable perceptions toward tourism impacts are found to be linked with environmental aspects and while economic matters are found to be the least favourable in terms of the perceived impacts on tourism. T-test analysis of the study indicates that there is no significant difference between community leaders' perceptions in both districts of Shiraz City. Results drew from discussion with the target group show that the community residents have positive perceptions toward economic and environmental impacts of tourism with only minor differences with each other.

“…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.

“…Conversely, careful and monitored tourism can also led to the re-ceration and preservation of the identity of local culture (Liu and Var, 1986). However, the social and cultural impacts of tourism development could negatively affect the perception of residents (Jurowski et al, 1997;Liu & Var, 1986;Milman & Pizam, 1988;Perdue et al, 1987). In addition to this, the influence of tourists can cause young people to become involved in bad habits.…”

“…At a local level, job creation or the reduction of unemployment has been identified as one of the most prominent benefits of tourism development. Economic gain, an increased standard of living (Milman & Pizam,1988), income re-distribution for hosts and government (Perdue et al, 1987), the price of goods and services ; the cost of land and housing (Perdue et al, 1987), the cost of living, the development and maintenance of the infrastructure and resources are other examples of the economic impacts of tourism development. In addition, the positive economic impact of tourism may contribute towards, or even provide much needed funds for preserving the historic and /or natural environment and the cultural heritage of the local environments.…”
