Differential effects of patriotism and support on post-development visit intention: the Korean DMZ Peace Park

Explaining Residents’ Behavioral Support for Tourism through Two Theoretical Frameworks

“…Despite numerous studies indicating a direct linear relationship between residents' attitudes and their support for tourism development, some scholars have emphasized the importance of including residents' behavioral intentions to support tourism development (Chen and Raab 2012;Choi and Murray 2010;Erul, Woosnam, and McIntosh 2020;Eslami et al 2019;Megeirhi et al 2020;H.

“…The authors considered residents' attitudes as a function of residents' emotional solidarity with tourists (i.e., welcoming nature, sympathetic understanding, and emotional closeness).

In this study, the SNs were evaluated with five items adopted from Li and Wu (2019) and Stylos and Bellou (2018), while Kim et al (2019) used four items to measure SNs. Moreover, CTI was investigated in this study, whereas in the study of Kim et al (2019), travel intention to DMZ Peace Park, a park created in a situation of political conflict between the South Korean and the North Korean, was investigated.…”

“…Within the selected articles, the ones with more suitable measured items to this study were finally retained. CTI was measured with three items adopted from Kim et al (2019). Five items from Wang and Zhang (2020) were used to evaluate CT.…”
