“…In terms of positive perception, socio-cultural impact would be great since the improvement of various local services, infrastructure development, public transport, and the participation of local communities in community-based tourism. This statement is supported by Mbaiwa (2004) and Kim & Patrick (2005). In addition, Brunt & Courtney (1999) stated that tourism also can lead to the advancement in education and healthcare.…”

1) Background: Tourism is one of the prominent industry that has a capability to generate handsome income for developed as well as developing countries. However, the study to investigate specifically the perception of local residents towards tourism is still lacking. The perception of the locals is important since it could determine the extent of their support for tourism development. Plus, previous research found that male residents are more support better towards the tourism development. Thus, this factor is adapted as well in this study to examine whether this gender may influence to the tourism industry. 2) Methods: This study used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique for determining the structural estimates between constructs. 3) Results: The respondents agree that positive perception, negative perception and tourism impact has a significant impact on support for tourism development in which has been recognized as Social Exchange Theory model. Moreover, the finding also revealed that gender has a potential to moderates the causal effect of tourism impact on tourism development. 4) Conclusion: The resident understand the tourism sector could strengthen economic nation but they also want the natural resources should be protected.

“…These facts have prompted sporting events organisers to welcome the idea of merging tourism related activities to the event. And as Kim and Petrick (2005) note there is a need to understand the balance between economic and social goals of sports tourism Management has also to anticipate/ plan for continuity of the events. One event could be used to bring out the second, and so on in a long term plan.…”

Sports Tourism and Perceived Socio-Economic Impact in Kenya: The Case of Machakos County

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose -Smaller events have been favoured by many commentators in sports research because mega events have been criticised for failing to have an aggregate positive advantage to local communities, especially in developing countries. On 4 th August 2010 Kenya promulgated a new constitution which paved the way for a federal system of government. After three years into this new system of governance, most county governments have embarked on developing sports facilities and promoting sporting events in their respective counties. Machakos County is viewed as a model county that has invested remarkably in sports and recreation facilities which have attracted major sporting activities to this new sports destination. This research intends to evaluate the role of devolution in promoting sports tourism in Kenya and how sports tourism has contributed to social economic development in the region. Design/methodology/approach -A survey was undertaken with a case study of Machakos County. Both secondary and primary data were collected and analysed. Follow up interviews and focused groups were also included as rich data sources in exploring the host community's perception on social impacts related to sports tourism development in Machakos. Findings -Sports tourism has both positive and negative impacts. The positive impacts include: Infrastructure and Urban development; economic benefits; community consolidation; Socialcultural exchange; Community visibility and image enhancement; Knowledge and entertainment. Negative impacts include: Economic costs; Traffic problems; Security risks; Environmental concerns and Social conflicts. This case also highlights the role of devolution in sports tourism development and how it has helped cushioning Kenya's tourism sector from declining international tourist arrivals. Challenges of sports tourism development and event management are discussed. A number of recommendations are made.

“…Wang & Pfister, 2008). Some have traced residents' opinions over time using longitudinal approaches (Getz, 1994;Lee & Back, 2006;Ritchie, Shipway, & Cleeve, 2009), while others have added novelty by concentrating on sectors that contribute indirectly to tourism, such as the casinos (Lee & Back, 2006;Lee, Kang, Long, & Resisinger, 2010) and events (Cheng & Jarvis, 2010;Fredline & Faulkner, 2002; S. S. Kim & Petrick, 2005;Lorde, Greenidge, & Devonish, 2011;Ritchie et al, 2009;Yang, Zeng, & Gu, 2010;Zhou, 2010). Zhou (2010) suggests that research into resident perceptions of locally hosted events have tended to focus on one-off megaevents such as the Olympics, the FIFA World Cup, and world exhibitions (Lee & Taylor, 2005;Waitt, 2003;Yang et al, 2010).…”

“…Koreans who are over 20 years of age have the right to vote and can marry without their parents' permission. This could be one of the main reasons why the research on Korean residents' opinions normally selects respondents who are 20 years-old or over (e.g., C. W. Kim & Lee, 2010; S. S. Kim & Petrick, 2005;Shin, 2006). Over the 5 days of data collection, 400 questionnaires were collected, of which 366 were usable.…”

Public investment in convention centers represents a relatively common approach to stimulating economic development in many large cities throughout the world. The rationale is that metropolitan authorities can thereby attract business tourists and promote positive (business friendly) images of their locality. Although the economic dimension of such spending has received some attention, especially by consultants, there has been little theorizing or empirical research that has examined residents' perceptions of such development. This is in sharp contrast to examinations of resident perceptions of leisure tourism, which has witnessed extensive academic interest. This article analyzes residents' perceptions of the Busan Exhibition and Convention Centre in South Korea. Distance decay theories, geographic decay, and cognitive decay are used to inform the analysis. The findings indicate that increasing residents' engagement with, and knowledge of, convention centers is likely to engender positive perceptions of their impacts. It is suggested that urban policymakers in many parts of the world could learn from this study and should take residents' perceptions into account when financing and managing convention centers.
