| description | This paper analyses the relationship between host-tourist
interactions and residents’ perceptions of tourism impacts on their
QOL. A survey of residents in two Portuguese beach communities
was conducted. Two PCAs were used to identify dimensions of
host-tourist interaction and QOL domains. Furthermore, an
importance-perceived impact analysis and Paired t-tests were
carried out to identify gaps between the levels of importance that
residents attribute to several domains of their QOL and their
perceptions of tourism impacts in these QOL domains. Correlation
tests were used to find statistical significant associations between
host-tourist interaction dimensions and residents’ QOL domains.
Results suggest that the interaction between residents and visitors
in these destinations is low and very superficial, gaps between
importance and tourism impacts emerged in several domains of
residents’ QOL and there is a positive relationship between host–
tourist interactions and residents’ perceptions of tourism impacts
on several domains of their QOL. Th |
