Residents’ attitudes toward tourism development: A structural model via Akcakoca sample
Keywords:
Tourism development, Residents, Attitude, Structural equation model, Content analysisAbstract
The objective of this study is to showcase a structural model that explores residents’ attitudes towards sustainable tourism development. Factors influencing residents’ attitudes were examined using a model consisting five latent constructs and six path hypotheses. Within this context, findings from 300 resident-respondents from Akcakoca, Turkey were analyzed.Utilizing LISREL 8,54 structural equation analysis package, a confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis were performed successively on the collected data. Also content analysis was employed for testing the data from open-ended questions. Results indicated that the residents’ support is likely to be strongly affected by most constructs, especially by the relationship between “tourism benefits” and “long term plan” factors for sustainability.
