“…Recently, SEM has been widely used in various fields, including management and tourism (do Valle & Assaker, ). The literature shows that a number of empirical studies have used SEM to examine previous cases of support for tourism development, such as how economic, cultural, social, environmental, and sociodemographic effects are perceived (Choi & Murray, ; Hammad et al, ; Khoshkam, Marzuki, & Al‐Mulali, ; Lee, ; Moghavvemi, Woosnam, Paramanathan, Musa, & Hamzah, ; Nunkoo & So, ; Ribeiro et al, ). In MGA, the moderator variable is categorical (usually two categories), and all the relationships in the inner model may potentially be affected (F. Hair Jr, Sarstedt, Hopkins, & Kuppelwieser, ).…”

“…Since then, tourism research has benefitted from a proliferation of empirical and theoretical research (Almeida-García et al, 2016). Most studies categorize tourism impacts into social, cultural, environmental, and economic aspects-both positive and negative (Almeida-García et al, 2016;Dyer et al, 2007;Long & Kayat, 2011;Nunkoo, 2016;Rasoolimanesh, Ringle, Jaafar, & Ramayah, 2017;Ribeiro, Pinto, Silva, & Woosnam, 2017;Rivera, Croes, & Lee, 2016;Yolal, Gursoy, Uysal, & Kim, 2016). Support from residents is important for any region or country that seeks sustainable tourism development (Gursoy et al, 2010).…”

The purpose of this paper is to investigate residents' perceptions of tourism impacts and whether nationality moderates the relationship between these perceptions and support for tourism development in the UAE. Using data collected from 979 respondents from the UAE, a questionnaire assessed the moderating effect of nationality on residents' perceptions of the social, cultural, environmental, and economic impacts of tourism. Social exchange theory is used as a theoretical framework for this study because it considers the heterogeneity of a community and explains the different perceptions held within it. The findings of this study show that nationality moderates the relationship between residents' perceptions of the impacts of tourism and their support for tourism development in the UAE. Specifically, nationality moderates the relationship between residents' perceptions of negative social impacts, positive cultural impacts, and negative and positive economic impacts and their support for tourism development. This study can assist tourism officials in the UAE in developing strategies that consider the diversity of a community with respect to the nationality of its residents.

“…It can also modify social norms and values [54,55]. These social, economic, cultural, and political changes are due to the sociocultural interactions among tourists, locals and the hospitality sector [56]. In general, sustainable tourism growth needs to highlight the socio-cultural benefits it provides for host regions [57][58][59][60].…”

Abstract:The purpose of this work is to develop a sustainable hotel building model (SHBM) that will allow for the measurement of sustainability in determining what conditions are most ideal for hotels in Northern Cyprus. This research method is based on the synthesis of international sustainable building assessment criteria from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and the localization of these criteria in Northern Cyprus. Thus, this article proposes an SHBM, which is especially localized for Northern Cyprus that can be used for new hotel buildings' design and construction and renovations of existing buildings as well as to measure their sustainability regarding environmental, economic and socio-cultural aspects. To serve this purpose, various methods of measurement of sustainability and green certificates (both qualitative and quantitative), global in scale were studied, which provided the basis for the development of the SHBM and local conditions of Northern Cyprus. Six hotels of differing sizes were studied in order to understand localized situation, conditions and priorities. The results of this study suggest that to have a more sustainable hotel in the aimed context, hotels of different scales (based on bed capacity and classification) must be evaluated adopting the SHBM model to achieve a better result for the sustainability of large-scale as well as small-scale hotels. In addition, this model helps the tourism industry and the hotel sector of Northern Cyprus benefit from sustainability in terms of environmental, economic and sociocultural aspects, which consequently help the local community in several ways.
