“…A relational approach to destination governance is invaluable in that it fosters social learning (Bramwell & Lane, 2011) and policy learning (Hall, 2011a). Also, a relational approach to cultural heritage may reconnect heritage production to localised heritage experiences (Gravari-Barbas & Jacquot, 2021) and it may generate socially inclusive political actions (White, 2017). For its inclusive, collaborative, and relational character, the notion of participatory governance relates to new materialist onto-epistemologies.…”

Until the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the growth of tourism had confronted many destinations with policy decisions that had impacted regional ecosystems and the quality of life of their resident population. To counter the threats driven by dominant tourism growth models, a number of tourism scholars have called for revisiting the philosophical foundation upon which tourism activities are developed. Informed by debates in philosophy and the wider social sciences, including tourism scholarship, this conceptual paper, therefore, suggests an alternative governance paradigm for tourism destinations, which is articulated in four propositions that reflect a new materialist perspective. These propositions are a monist post-anthropocentric ontology, a participatory epistemology, resilient forms of tourism and participation as methodologies, and social eudaimonia as societal value. The core argument presented in this paper is that the Anthropocene requires tourism destinations to espouse alternative governance approaches drawing from ideas emerging from new materialist scholarship.

“…On the negative side, tourism developments are usually indicated to contribute to the loss of traditions, acculturation, and trivialization of cultural heritage (e.g., Osagie & Buzinde, 2011). Furthermore, P2P vacation accommodation developments are also blamed for deteriorations in the residents’ quality of life resulting from issues like having to compete for existing parking spaces and being subjected to higher noise levels (Sheppard & Udell, 2016), as well as the fact that they are driven away from their neighborhoods as they are unable to afford the housing prices (Barron et al, 2018; CEHAT, 2015; Cheng et al, 2022; Exceltur, 2015; Malhotra & Van Alstyne, 2014), and there may be a deterioration of the coexistence between neighbors and tourists (Gravari-Barbas & Jacquot, 2016). Despite such negative impacts, overall, the literature seems to suggest a direct and positive relationship between the socio-cultural impacts and residents’ support (Dyer et al, 2007; Garau-Vadell et al, 2019).…”

The Moderating Role of Generation on Residents’ Support for P2P Vacation Accommodations: Millennials versus Older Generations

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Massive-scale peer-to-peer vacation accommodation has become one of the most relevant recent trends in the tourism industry. The phenomenon coincides in time with the emergence of the millennial generation alleged to influence a distinctive behavior. Grounded in the Social Exchange Theory, the study presents a comparative analysis of millennial residents’ and previous generations’ support for P2P vacation accommodations. The article explores differences in support for the new activity, in the perception of its impacts, and on how the residents back their support. A quantitative survey was conducted with a sample of 1,285 residents from Tenerife (Spain), a major international tourist destination with a large number of P2P vacation accommodations. Results reveal that millennial residents display more support for P2P vacation accommodations. However, it is not based on structural differences in how they build their support, rather on a greater perception of positive economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts than previous generations. Relevant tourism destination and DMO implications are derived.
