The effect of place personality on resident welcoming tourist through positive and negative impacts of tourism

Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify residents' place personality attitudes regarding the place in which they live and to determine the effects of this attitude on attitudes to positive and negative impacts of tourism and residents' welcoming of tourists. Results of the analysis reveal that the sincerity and excitement dimensions of place personality affected residents welcoming tourists through attitudes to positive impacts of tourism; however, the sophistication dimension affected residents welcoming tourists through attitudes to negative impacts of tourism. Additionally, the influence of the sophistication dimension on attitudes to negative impacts of tourism is relatively higher.

Navigating the New Normal: The Role of Residents’ Involvement and Support in Sustainable Tourism Recovery

“…To determine if the data followed a normal distribution, we examined skewness and kurtosis values, following the methodology outlined by Kline [48]. AMOS results indicated that each item had a skewness and kurtosis value below 2 and 3, respectively, which is generally considered acceptable [38]. Additionally, the data were examined for potential common method bias (CMB).…”

“…Spanning nearly two decades, the emotional solidarity (ES) construct and its accompanying theoretical framework have been employed with regularity in the tourism literature [17,[35][36][37][38]. According to Woosnam [16], the theory examines the affective bond between locals and visitors, and the formers' interactions, shared values, and behaviors influence how well they get along with the latter.…”

“…According to Woosnam [16], the theory examines the affective bond between locals and visitors, and the formers' interactions, shared values, and behaviors influence how well they get along with the latter. Despite the ES scale possessing three distinct dimensions (i.e., sympathetic understanding, emotional closeness, and welcoming nature), several studies [3,38] have concentrated on the welcoming nature dimension as either an independent or dependent variable to investigate the intimate relationship between residents and tourists. For example, residents' welcoming nature has been significantly influenced by their attitudes concerning both positive and negative tourism impacts [38].…”

“…Over the years, the objectives and analysis techniques posed increased in sophistication (e.g., [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]). Nowadays, the study of causal relationships which could explain residents' attitudes is a priority (e.g., [3,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51]). There are also studies more focused on the consequences of residents' attitudes [52][53][54].…”
