“…Tourism has been referred to as a "goose that not only lays a golden egg, but also fouls its own nest" (Julio, 2001). Like many other industries, it is often used as a national or regional development tool (Jackson, 2008;Liu & Var, 1986).…”

The impacts of tourism have been given much attention by scholars attempting to examine the perceptions as well as attitudes of the local residents toward tourism. Such studies have been carried out thoroughly in the context of the developed countries. However, very little research has been carried out in developing countries. This study attempts to make a little contribution to the sustainable development of tourism by examining the residents' profile, perceptions and attitudes towards tourism impacts and tourism development in Ha Long Bay, the Vietnam's first World Heritage Site (recognized in 1994). Data were collected by means of a questionnaire study. Based on 417 respondents surveyed, the findings show that the majority of respondents were young, Kinh rather than other ethnic group, they were married and were living in Ha Long Bay for over 20 years. On the whole, respondents viewed tourism positively and would support tourism development. They were generally in favor of tourism that contributes economically and socio-culturally to Ha Long Bay. They were, however, slightly ambivalent to environmental impacts of tourism. Implications, policy recommendations and limitations of study are presented in the conclusion.

“…Commercialized interactions in tourism are contrary to the former hospitality covenant. Tourists are exposed to fake authenticity and they do not become temporary members of the host environment (Aramberri, 2001). However, experience is more personal category as it refers to human beings -in this case, tourists, their own consciousness and perception.…”

This study focuses on the theoretical analysis of social interaction and relationship between guests and hosts from the perspective of anthropology of tourism. In the 1960s and 1970s, attention was paid predominantly to anthropological reflection of negative socio-cultural impacts of tourism on host communities. However, towards the end of the 1980s and during the 1990s the research focus began to shift towards an analysis and interpretation of the influence of commodification on the perceptions of identity and authenticity of the host culture, while the positive aspects of tourism began to be recognized as well. This study aims to present an overview of the basic approaches within the anthropology of tourism to social interaction between guests and hosts. The objective of the study is to provide a summary of miscellaneous approaches to and views on this issue.

“…Ndione et al, 2018), interaction with a relative in the new community is removed from many social structures, allowing traditional roles to evolve (Humbracht, 2015). The host-guest relationship is one of reciprocity (Aramberri, 2001) where the host provides infrastructure and expertise, and the visitor expends time and money, demonstrating interest in their host's life (Backer, 2019;Larsen et al, 2007). Guests may also provide emotional and domestic support that free-up resources for the host to pursue other tasks (Capistrano & Weaver, 2017;Janta & Christou, 2019).…”

“…These bonds evolve leading to further exchange of resources. If hospitality exchanges are perceived positively and reciprocally (Aramberri, 2001), social capital was enhanced, but there was potential also for the withering of social ties due to habitus clash and feelings of exploitation that could restrict future exchanges of resources. Hosting also facilitated participants' development and demonstration of cultural capital.…”

The hosting of friends and relatives is an important and common experience. Hosting gives reason and opportunity for residents to explore their community while spending time with guests. For newcomers, hosting brings additional significance due to their relative isolation from traditional social networks and comparative unfamiliarity with the community. This narrative inquiry examines immigrants' experiences of hosting friends and relatives using Bourdieu's theories of social and cultural capital. Findings suggest that hosting creates a context where relationships are refreshed, resources exchanged, and capitals that enhance hosts' habitus in the new social field are developed. This impacts personal identity, sense of accomplishments, and increases familiarity with the new culture that may further integration. Application of both social and cultural capital demonstrates the opportunities and dilemmas for immigrant hosts interacting in dual social fields. A theoretical model delineates processes and implications for capital development laying foundations for future research and practitioner guidance.
