Authors

Abstract

Tourism has been seen as a positive force in the economic well-being of many rural areas, but in recent years many local residents are starting to question whether the negative impacts of tourism on the physical and social environment are justified by the economic gains. The purpose of this study was to cluster host community respondents to a-survey on perceptions of tourism's impacts into several "types" based upon their patterns of response.
