“…Tsai et al note that community resilience can be measured in four dimensions: disaster prevention awareness, community attachment, environment fragility, and adaptive responses [38]. Additionally, Biggs and colleagues develop a perceived resilience scale to measure tourism community enterprises' adaptive capacity and resilience [1,44], while Holladay and Powell examine community residents' perceived resilience from the economic, social, ecological, and institutional dimensions in the Commonwealth of Dominica [45]. Marshall and Marshall argue that community adaptive capacity and resilience can be evaluated in four perceptual dimensions: the ability to perceive risk and change; the ability to reorganize, learn and plan; the ability to cope with risk and change; and the degree of interest in change [46].…”

Abstract:The concept of resilience has recently received a substantial amount of attention in sustainable tourism research. Nevertheless, empirical studies on the factors that may influence the perceived resilience of community residents in tourism destinations remain lacking. A thorough analysis is needed to examine place attachment as a catalyst of or a barrier to community resilience in tourism destinations. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the influence of place attachment on perceived resilience based on data derived from 655 residents in two earthquake-affected tourism communities in Sichuan Province, China. The empirical results indicate that place identity and place dependence have a positive influence on the perceived resilience of community residents in tourism destinations. The equality test for the structural model demonstrates that the influence of place attachment on perceived community resilience is invariant across native residents and lifestyle tourism immigrants. Residents who develop strong place attachment to their communities exhibit greater resilience and adaptive capacity.

There Is No Such Thing as Sustainable Tourism: Re-Conceptualizing Tourism as a Tool for Sustainability

Abstract:Increased global concern about sustainability has placed pressure on businesses to justify the value of their products and services beyond personal profit and to take responsibility for the negative impacts of their activities. Tourism is particularly susceptible to this pressure, given its generally poor track record in terms of negative social, cultural and environmental impacts, and the lack of compelling evidence of benefits for either the individual tourist or destination communities. While the management of tourism impacts and the relationship between tourism and sustainability have been paid considerable attention by tourism academics, there is little evidence of any significant change in tourism practice. This paper will argue that this lack of change reflects problems in the way tourism academics have conceptualized sustainable tourism. After reviewing these problems with sustainable tourism, this paper will offer an alternative framework for sustainable tourism that focuses on the concept of quality-of-life, recognizes the complexity of tourism within local and global systems, adheres to the principles of responsible tourism, and explicitly assesses the value of tourism as one tool, amongst many, for sustainability. One potential application of the framework will be demonstrated with a case study of tourism development on Magnetic Island in Australia.

“…Social capital is important for the resilience of the tourism industry (Sydnor-Bousso et al, 2011). Social capital builds trust within a community (Holladay & Powell, 2013) and feelings of kinship (Adger, 2003). Indeed, the extended use of social media likely served to strengthen the network ties (Donoghue & Sturtevant, 2007;Folke et al, 2005;Olsson et al, 2006) among customers and properties through transparency and knowledge sharing (Berkes, 2009;Trosper 2002).…”

“…Research on resilience in the tourism and hospitality industry has addressed a variety of areas including community development (Holladay & Powell, 2013;Ruiz-Ballesteros, 2011), commercial enterprise (Biggs, 2011;Biggs et al 2012), weaknesses of forecasting for crises and disasters (Prideaux et al, 2003) and retention of hospitality jobs (Sydnor-Bousso et al, 2011).…”
