“…The literature presents numerous positive and negative economic impacts that tourism creates in destinations. Some significant positive impacts of tourism can be stated as contributions to a local economy, such as employment, gross domestic product, foreign exchange earnings (positive balance of payments), government revenues (additional tax revenues), personal income, infrastructural development (regional development), hence they are contributions to an increased standard of living (Haralambopoulos and Pizam, 1996; Lickorish and Jenkins, 1997; Korca, 1998; Mason and Cheyne, 2000; Mason, 2003; McGehee and Andereck, 2004; Andereck et al , 2005; Archer et al , 2005; Wall and Mathieson, 2006; Ivanov and Webster, 2007; Seetanah, 2011; Özdemir et al , 2016). Tourism also stimulates supporting industries in a region (Ivanov and Webster, 2007).…”

“…Tourism also stimulates supporting industries in a region (Ivanov and Webster, 2007). Except for foreign exchange earnings, other economic benefits can also be gained from domestic tourism, which implies that domestic tourism also has some positive economic implications on an economy, to some extent (Lickorish and Jenkins, 1997; Archer et al , 2005).…”

PurposeThis study provides insights on the perceptions of residents in destinations offering different tourism products at different levels of tourism development.Design/methodology/approachA total of 1,122 valid responses were gathered through surveys from the residents of three unique destinations, with different levels of tourism development. Non-parametric tests were performed since the data was gathered on an ordinal scale and not distributed normally.FindingsThe tourism perceptions of the residents formed a five-factor structure, namely “socioecological negative”, “socioeconomic positive”, “socioecological development (wellbeing)”, “negative perceptions of tourism” and “tendency to become visitor”. All dimensions except for “socioeconomic positive” differed significantly by destinations in terms of level of tourism development or type of tourism product offered.Research limitations/implicationsResidents' perceptions of tourism differ based on different tourism products and different levels of tourism development of destinations. The residents of the most mature destinations in terms of tourism development have the most negative perceptions of tourism.Originality/valueAlthough there are studies investigating how residents' perceptions differ based on the level of tourism development of destinations, this study, with its holistic approach, aims to provide insights on how residents' perceptions of tourism differ based on the tourism products offered by different destinations. The selected destinations differ from each other in both their level of tourism involvement and products they offer, hence the originality of the current study with its unique contribution to the related body of knowledge.

“…In the ongoing debates on development in Africa, tourism is often advanced as a tool for poverty alleviation and improvement of socio-economic conditions for rural as well as urban communities. Whilst there might be a depressing sense that only few countries have succeeded in developing strong tourism sectors, with many more setting unrealistic aims leading to weak and only embryonic tourism sectors (Dieke 2003; Lickorish and Jenkins, 1997), there is an increasingly confident debate offering a rather promising picture, highlighting a compelling story about tourism for development (Christie et al., 2013; United Nations World Tourism Organisation, 2012; World Bank, 2011; World Economic Forum et al., 2011).…”
