E-JURNAL Local reactions to mass tourism and community tourism development in Macau
By 2014, it became apparent that a popular debate was emerging in many
destinations about the “annoyances” felt by local residents in the face of an
upsurge in inbound tourism. This study investigates residents’ attitudes
toward mass tourism and tourism development in Macau. It comprises an
examination of three emotional solidarity factors of residents’ perceptions of
the contribution of tourism to the community and the community’s
experiences of so-called “annoyances” from tourists that may ultimately
influence residents’ attitudes toward community tourism development. The
results of this study reveal that three emotional solidarity factors play
different roles in influencing residents’ attitudes about community tourism
and community tourism development. The theoretical contributions, as well
as implications, are discussed and future research opportunities are
proposed.
