TL;DR: The authors investigated residents' perceptions of tourism's impact on communities and found that those who feel tourism is important for economic development, benefit from it, and are knowledgeable about the greater positive impacts, but do not differ from others with respect to perceptions of tourists negative consequences.

TL;DR: The authors explored the relationship between resident attitudes toward tourism and support for specific tourism development options and found that residents perceive tourism positively and support most specific types of development, although the nature of the relationship was different for each community.

TL;DR: The authors used a decision-making and information search model as a framework for explaining the factors which influence the use of communications as they relate to recreation and tourism experiences, where many of the leisure and recreation-based motivations are considered such as information for social, entertainment, visual, and creativity purposes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined residents' attitudes toward existing and future tourism development in several rural areas at different stages of tourism and economic development and found that residents of three distinct rural county-level areas were supportive of tourism development, and little evidence was found that attitudes toward tourism become negative with higher levels of tourism.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model examining the interrelationships between sport event image, destination image, satisfaction with the event, past experience with event and destination, intentions to revisit the destination and subsequent behaviours of sport tourists to revisit was proposed.
