This study explores how a crucial measure can contribute to tourism impact research on residents and understand the standpoints among different resident groups. A stakeholder perspective demonstrates how residents in the public and private tourism sectors consider economic and environmental impacts. It probes differences in perceptions towards tourism impacts between these two stakeholder groups. Data are gathered among residents working in Macao’s private and public sectors. A semi-structured interview is used to collect data, with 14 interviews conducted. After the data analysis, significant differences are not found in residents’ opinions of both groups regarding economic and environmental impacts. Furthermore, the findings do not indicate the perceptions of negative environmental impacts can be mitigated if the number of tourists declines. The study contributes to the literature by adding the importance of residents’ perceptions of tourism impacts on the tourist destination and pursuing sustainable tourism planning and development. Findings are also relevant to Macao, using the traditional measures of residents’ perceptions, which may help raise support among residents of tourist destinations for future tourism development. Then, it can further help improve the sustainable tourism management of tourist destinations.

“…Historically, tourism activities have been a subtle, unpredictable, and hazardous undertaking. The tourism industry is undeniably one of the most significant components of economies worldwide, though it is also one of the most vulnerable and defenceless sectors to crises (5). Natural catastrophes, pandemics, climate change, geopolitical concerns, economic downturns, and terrorism are all examples of adversities that affect the tourism industry (6).…”

Natural hazards take place periodically every year in the sub-continent India, devastating the life of several residents placed around eastern and western coastal areas. The tourism phenomenon is not immune to natural disasters. Due to the intrinsic scenery many tourism developments are often located in regions that are exposed to natural disasters, in particular beach and coastal areas promoting coastal tourism. Tourists travel to a destination only for a short time period and may not be aware of such local hazards and finally they may become the victims of such natural disasters which results in creating a negative impact on the image of the destination that can be both serious and long-lasting. The study focuses on Puri and Konark, two most preferred tourist destinations in Odisha, prone to natural calamity called cyclonic storms. The research paper may contribute a valuable insight and guidelines for policy makers and other stakeholders concerned to restore and reduce the hazards of natural disaster in the Puri-Konark tourist.

“…The media amplifies this impact, creating the so-called "ripple effect", which spreads the impact of disasters across different geographical areas and economic sectors, as well [32]. This effect hinders destinations' recoveries as negative consumer perception of a disaster-affected destination hampers injection of foreign exchange, thus increasing the amount of time needed for the destination to recover [9]. Thus, managing disasters becomes of paramount importance in the optic of sustainable tourism.…”

“…Innovation is an imperative for organizational survival and success in the turbulent market environment of the tourism industry, especially in the current COVID-19 pandemic crisis [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Due to its complexity, the tourism industry is vulnerable to the impacts of major crises [9]. In this light, to face the increasingly devastating impacts of disasters, the use of the resilience approach is frequently suggested by multiple scholars as the best approach to respond to disasters [10].…”

Destination Resilience and Innovation for Advanced Sustainable Tourism Management: A Bibliometric Analysis

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Over the years, literature on the topic of destination resilience has gained increasing attention in different fields (strategic management; sociology; etc.). Therefore, the potentiality of resilience in the tourism field has stimulated the definition and the implementation of strategies, policies, and activities addressed to mitigate risks and seize opportunities through open innovation attitudes in times of crisis. This work aims to contribute to the debate on tourist destination resilience by proposing a conceptual framework of destination resilience and open innovation based on a bibliometric analysis. Moreover, this article is intended as a starting point for a wider discussion of factors that contribute to destination resilience and therefore provides the basis to develop a toolkit of matrixes and approaches. Findings reveal that resilience assessment, as well as in terms of performance, remain undiscovered. Moreover, the present research poses some unresolved questions, shaping interesting future research directions.
