BACKGROUND: Tourism development can have a positive or negative impact on the lives of local communities. AIM: This systematic review aims to determine the impact of tourism on the quality of life (QoL) of people in tourist destination areas. METHODS: The search was conducted on the Science Direct database, Taylor Francis, EBSCO Host, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar. The keywords used were “residents’ QoL” AND impacts of tourism. Inclusion criteria were articles that focus on the QoL of people in tourist destination areas, published from 2015 to 2019 in peer-reviewed journals, in English. Articles were excluded if they were qualitative studies, literature reviews, and if full papers were unavailable. The review was conducted on 18 articles selected from 673 articles obtained in the initial search. RESULTS: Tourism has an impact on the QoL of local communities. In general, the domains that are perceived as being positively affected are the improvement of the economy, employment opportunities, community pride, cultural exchanges, and increased facilities availability. Meanwhile, the domains that are negatively affected in most of the studies are health, safety, quality of the physical environment, cost of living, accessibility to public facilities, and social relations. Apart from that, there is also dissatisfaction with the types of jobs available and the low level of community involvement in tourism development. CONCLUSIONS: Tourism can have both positive and negative impacts on the QoL of local communities. Efforts to minimize the negative impacts of tourism should be undertaken to improve community support for tourism development.

“…Indeed, the vast majority of contributions find a positive effect from tourism on a variety of life domains such as family life, social life, leisure life, and cultural life (Uysal, Sirgy, Woo, & Kim, ). However, tourism might also generate negative externalities for the local population that affect several aspects of their everyday lives in urban settlements (e.g., environmental, social, and cultural issues; Renda, Mendes, & Valle, ; Pasquinelli, ; Bimonte et al, ). The persistence of those effects, eventually, can reduce the QoL perceptions of the resident population.…”

“…Second, they consider subjective indicators to measure the UQoL, but they do not analyse objective measures such as the distance and accessibility to the amenities/disamenities and services from individual places of residence (Andereck et al, ; Andereck & Nyaupane, ; Yu et al, ). And third, only a few studies focus on European contexts (for instance, Renda et al, ; Carneiro & Eusebio, ; Bimonte et al, ). On average, European cities are much denser and more compact than American cities are, and destinations where strong agglomeration effects arise might experience negative impacts from tourism activity on the UQoL of the resident population.…”

“…Overall, the presence of tourists can generate positive or negative externalities for the local population, resulting in increases or decreases in local well-being and urban quality of life (UQoL ;Figini & Vici, 2012;Bimonte, D'Agostino, Grilli, & Pagliuca, 2019). For instance, improvements in cultural amenities or local leisure possibilities are likely to increase residents' well-being.…”

The present work investigates the relationship between tourism presence and perceptions of the urban quality of life (UQoL) of resident populations. This is currently a hot topic, because in many European cities, residents have started to voice concerns about mass tourism. An ad hoc questionnaire was designed and submitted to the resident populations of two Mediterranean destinations. Following an integrative approach à la Sen, UQoL is analysed using the presence of services/amenities (capabilities) as well as their accessibility (functionings). Findings indicate that both presence and—mainly—accessibility of services/amenities matter for UQoL and that a negative effect from tourism prevails.

“…The existence of tourism activities has had both positive and negative impacts on the local population, resulting in fluctuations in the welfare and quality of life of the population. [15]. The positive impact of tourism is the improvement of tourist facilities by the government, resulting in an increase in the welfare of the local population.…”

Kemiren village is well known today as one of the tourist destinations that has a distinctive appeal to the culture of the Osing tribe, which is one of the tribes found on Java. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of community-based rural tourism (CBRT) activities with an approach to the economic, socio-cultural and natural environment dimensions associated with the quality of life of residents in Kemiren village. The results of the research conducted show that tourism activities in the area have been able to become a source of income for most households in order to improve the standard of living of the Kemiren villagers. However, the development of tourism activities that occurs has an impact on changes in the livelihoods of local residents because of the high profits obtained from tourism activities. Increased job opportunities have also led to a high flow of people working there. Protection of the environment is seen as not a priority in relation to tourism activities in development carried out by local governments. However, Kemiren village’s resident still have high concern and are actively involved in preserving the environment. Local people believe in development of tourism activities will impact their welfare.
