“…Regarding the relationship between place attachment and attitude towards tourism development, literature presents different results. Some papers find that there is no significant direct relationship between place attachment and support for tourism development (Dimitrovski, Crespi-Vallbona and Ioannides, 2022;Ganji, Johnson and Sadeghian, 2020;Gannon et al, 2021;Gursoy, Jurowski and Uysal, 2002;Jurowski, Uysal and Williams, 1997;Nugroho andNumata, 2022, Stylidis, 2020), while others show a significant direct relationship. More specifically, most research finds a positive relationship, regardless of the type of tourism to support: heritage tourism (Chen and Chen, 2010), sustainable community tourism (Choi and Murray, 2010), sustainable tourism (Gursoy and Rutherford, 2004;Lee, 2013;Nicholas et al, 2009;Orgaz-Agüera et al, 2022), island tourism (Eusébio, Vieira and Lima, 2018), gaming tourism (Lee et al, 2020;Luo andXiao, 2017), ethnic tourism (Wang et al, 2020), film tourism (Castro, Kim and Assaker, 2023), festival tourism (Eluwole et al, 2022) or mass tourism (Hateftabar and Chapuis, 2020;Li, Pan and Hu, 2021;Shen, Geng and Su, 2019;Shen and Shen, 2021).…”
