“…Various motivations for hostility have been identified in the literature: gentrification and touristification (Cheshire et al, 2019;Gravari-Barbas & Guinand, 2017;Olt et al, 2019;; increased traffic (Colomb & Novy, 2017;Vianello, 2016); higher house prices and displaced residents (Ioannides et al, 2019;Mermet, 2017;Wachsmuth & Weisler, 2018); party and alcohol tourism (F€ uller & Michel, 2014;Pixov a & Sl adek, 2017;Sommer & Helbrecht, 2017); anti-social behaviour (Hughes, 2018;Rouleau, 2017); and over-tourism (Hospers, 2019;Milano et al, 2019;Smith et al, 2019). Such issues had a major impact in Berlin, where residents and community groups complained of 'troublesome' tourists (Novy, 2016).…”

“…Complaints like theseabout noise, partying, and alcohol tourism (F€ uller & Michel, 2014;Pixov a & Sl adek, 2017;Sommer & Helbrecht, 2017), traffic (Colomb & Novy, 2017;Vianello, 2016), commercialisation (Colomb & Novy, 2017) as well as tourists' behaviour (Hughes, 2018;Rouleau, 2017) are common elsewhere.

“…Complaints from residents may reflect a broader discontent with the impact of tourism (Colomb & Novy, 2017;Sharpley, 2014). Their protests may be sparked by partying and alcohol consumption (F€ uller & Michel, 2014;Pixov a & Sl adek, 2017;Sommer & Helbrecht, 2017), anti-social behaviour (Hughes, 2018;Rouleau, 2017), and over-tourism (Milano et al, 2019;Smith et al, 2019). For example, tensions have risen in Barcelona's Ciutat Vella between citizens, policy-makers, and visitors concerning intoxication, noise, illegal property rental, and overcrowding in public spaces at night (Rouleau, 2017).…”

Residents of Kampung Prawirotaman, Yogyakarta, Indonesia respond differently to night-time tourist activity. This historic batik kampung was transformed into an international tourist destination, sowing resident discontent over traffic, anti-social behaviour and noise. Conflict with religious values also features in this dynamic. Observations and in-depth interviews with residents, artists, and hotel/caf e owners in Prawirotaman and surrounding Islamic kampungs differentiated two phases of touristification. From the 1980s through the 1990s, batik factories were turned into lodgings primarily serving backpackers, and global practices co-existed with traditional culture. Prawirotaman became known as Kampung Bule, a neighbourhood for foreign tourists, reflecting optimism that tourism would define its identity. Then three consecutive crises (the 1998 Asian monetary crisis, the 2002 Bali bombing, and the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake) propelled Prawirotaman into the second touristification phase. Welcoming higher-end visitors brought rising prosperity, but residents became unhappy about the noise, traffic, and late-night drinking. This dynamic became more complex as residents of surrounding religious kampungs, Karangkajen and Jogokariyan, added their voices. Forming a mosque alliance, they instigated a massive crack-down on the sale of alcohol in restaurants and caf es during the New Year celebrations of 2018. This response to the impact of tourism in Prawirotaman suggests that the current level of discontent corresponds to the final stage of the 'Irridex' model in which the residents have become openly hostile toward tourism.

“…The SONA is not a guarantee that the president’s plans will always be translated into definite and immediate action. Problems may arise due to differing views and communication between and among national and local government offices (Sommer and Helbrecht, 2017) and inconsistencies among the priorities of the succeeding leaders. This requires the need to examine first the intentions of the administrations and why these plans are not translated into action.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the underlying statements with regard to strategic directions and action programmes on tourism found in the state-of-the-nation address (SONA) speeches of six Philippine presidents – from 1987 to 2019. The researchers believe that president SONAs are usually reflective of their plans and are strong indicators of their interest, which could particularly influence the Philippine tourism planning and development. Currently, the lack of guidance in the theoretical framework and research discussion in exploring the Philippine tourism policy and development priorities using presidents’ SONA speeches are found wanting. Scenario planning approach was used as a framework. Design/methodology/approach Scenario planning approach requires inputs from an advisory group to create scenario drivers. As inputs, the presidents’ SONA speeches were used in this study while the researchers assumed the role of scenario thinkers. The speeches were downloaded and imported into a qualitative data software. Through a series of text search with regard to strategic directions and action programmes on tourism, underlying statements were subjected to content analysis to create nodes. The nodes were used as the basis in creating scenario drivers, which became the basis in creating the model. The models underwent the following validation procedures: researcher, concept and literature review. Findings Based on the data, there are three identified major drivers of the present and future of Philippine tourism; these are tourism policy, tourism development and prospects for the future (temporal element). It also indicates tourism development and temporal element as dominant, with very few on tourism policies. By combining the tourism policy and tourism development, the development of the tourism policy and development confluence model was created. Meanwhile, the addition of the temporal element provided a third scenario driver that led to the creation of the dimensions of tourism policy and development scenarios. Practical implications The developed model can be adapted to many contexts that extend even outside of tourism. The public tourism offices, such as the department of tourism and the regional, provincial, city and municipal tourism offices, can use the model to help them prioritise tourism development programmes and lobby for tourism policy creation. Social implications The model will significantly assist decision-makers and policymakers to be conscious in crafting and enacting their tourism plans and programmes. It presents tourism policy and tourism development as scenario drivers that are interrelated; hence, a mutual relationship between the executive and legislative sectors of the government can be expected. Originality/value The study positions its originality and value in three areas: scenario planning, tourism future and president’s interest in tourism. In terms of scenario planning, the study was able to present interaction among three scenario drivers compared to most models that only have two. In the area of tourism future studies, this study claims that qualitative historical data can also be used to predict future scenarios. Despite the limited literature examining the tourism interest of the top-level administration, using speeches made by head of state is found plausible to predict the future of Philippine tourism.

Zusammenfassung Ausgehend von einigen sehr stark frequentierten städtetouristischen Destinationen und befördert durch eine intensive Medienberichterstattung über Besucherdruck und dadurch ausgelöste negative Effekte erfährt der Begriff „Overtourism“ und die Diskussion darüber seit 2017 eine hohe öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit. Die Diskussion ist dabei vor allem von einigen wenigen städtetouristischen Destinationen geprägt. Damit sich die Frage, inwieweit die sich an wenigen Extrembeispielen entzündende Diskussion als Hinweis auf eine zunehmende Ablehnung von touristischen Besuchern gesehen werden kann. Über städtetouristische Destinationen, die (noch) nicht im Fokus der medialen Berichterstattung stehen, ist bislang relativ wenig bekannt. Schaukeln sich hier ablehnende Haltungen auf oder gibt es Hinweise, dass neben der reinen Zahl von Besuchern auch andere sozio-kulturelle oder nachfragespezifische Aspekte relevant sind für die Akzeptanz von externen Besuchern, Mit dem Beitrag soll an einem Beispiel mit hoher Besucherintensität aber gleichzeitig noch geringen direkt sichtbar gewordenen negativen Haltungen der Bevölkerung, der Frage nachgegangen werden, welche Aspekte für die Einschätzung der touristischen Besucher relevant sind. Der Beitrag versteht sich dabei als Beitrag zu einer Versachlichung und sozialwissenschaftlichen Fundierung der medialen Diskussion.
