“…Literature evidence from recent studies alludes that tourism has many benefits, yet there is limited local involvement in the tourism sector (Harilal & Tichaawa, 2020;Nyikana & Tichaawa, 2020). Scholars call for strengthening interrelationships at the local operational level for sustainable tourism development (Acha Anyi, 2023;Frederick & Nguh, 2020). Other scholars focused on residents' perceptions of quality of life-related to the impacts of tourism (Nange & Ozturen, 2022) and maintain that residents' support for tourism development directly influences residents' overall quality of life.…”

Tourism development is linked to community-based transformation and growth, impacting the residents’ livelihoods. The study aimed to comprehensively understand locals’ perspectives on tourism development. The study mainly focused on identifying the factors that influence these perspectives and assessing their implications for sustainable tourism planning and management, using Yaoundé in Cameroon as a case study. Employing a quantitative survey research design, the study collected data from 385 locals using non-probability convenience sampling. Key findings revealed that positive perceptions of tourism development are linked to benefits. As residents benefit economically and socially from tourism, they desire increased tourist arrivals and see tourism as having positive impacts. A gap between training and participation in conservancy was identified, suggesting a major implication of the need to incorporate local voices in tourism planning and policies for more sustainable and inclusive growth of the tourism industry. By exposing factors that influence locals’ perspectives and assessing the implications for sustainable tourism management and planning, the study contributes to the literature and provides valuable insights to inform decision-making in the tourism industry.

In an effort to reveal insights related to the interdisciplinary nature of event-related research, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to assimilate current knowledge from articles published in the Scopus database between 2000 and 2022. We examined publication trends, co-authorship networks, and citation chains, as well as acknowledged contributions from select authors, institutions, and countries to map research trends and trajectories. After article vetting (N=1582 articles), a co-citation analysis of the prior literature identified four major clusters: (1) determinants of consumer decision-making in event tourism, (2) mega sport event legacies, (3) event and tourism experiences, and (4) event content, size, and scope. Finally, a content analysis was performed to reveal the most significant insights about prior research in the event and tourism space.
