Resident Sentiment of Tourism: Construct and Model Development
Resident attitude towards tourism impacts or tourists in general has been a popular research area since the 1970s, because of the crucial role of resident attitude in creating positive tourist experience and maintaining sustainable tourism development. However, this line of research has been increasingly challenged in recent years, from conceptual, theoretical, or methodological perspectives. We put forward a new concept, resident sentiment, as a more encompassing indicator of social representations shared by the local community. This seminar will report on a study using multiple methods, including interviews, survey, and big data sentiment analytics, to investigate resident sentiment in the context of Hong Kong.
