“…In addition, students agree significantly more with the statement that urban infrastructures are better thanks to cruise tourism (S7) and that a tourist tax for each cruise passenger should be collected (S20). The latter falls in line with the study by López-del-Pino et al (2021), which shows that support for tourism taxes is higher among informed people. On the contrary, they exhibit lower support for the statements that governments should economically incentivise the arrival of cruise ships (S19), that it is positive that shops open on holidays (S14), and that seeing cruise ships docked in the port produces a positive feeling in them (S6).…”

“…They also identify two clear profiles of local residents: extreme and moderate lovers and haters.

Meeting externalities: The effects of educational training on support for tourism activities

2023

This study evaluates whether college students change their beliefs about the social, economic, and environmental effects of tourism activities after receiving educational training. In particular, our goal is to examine if economic instruction affects their views about the impacts of cruise tourism development. We conduct an experiment with students majoring in tourism enrolled in a compulsory course on tourism and transport at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain). We administer a survey before and after the course in three academic years that involve the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods. We find that students become more concerned about the negative impacts of cruise tourism, with significant shifts in their agreement with the environmental externalities and price surges associated with cruise tourism. Furthermore, they become more supportive of the setting of a tourism tax per passenger, but agree less with the idea that governments should economically incentivise the arrival of more ships.
