Abstract
Understanding local residents' attitudes toward tourism development is vital for the success and sustainability of any type of tourism development. A large number of studies have examined resident attitudes and the factors that are likely to influence those attitudes. Most of those studies suggest that locals tend to have positive attitudes because they see tourism as an economic development tool (Gursoy et al., 2002). However, residents' perceptions of impacts and their level of support tend to change as a destination moves from one stage of destination lifecycle to the next.
