Description
Summary:To evaluate the influence of different variables related to tourism on the city and the residents' lives the visual comparison method was applied. The variables were grouped under four dimensions (socio-economic impact, overcrowding, crime, traffic, and landscaping, and environmental impact) and subsequently there was observed and analysed the influence of the dimensions, considered two by two, on the evolution of a computed index Residents' Acceptance and Tourism Sustainability. The research determined the hierarchy of the dimensions' influence on the Residents' Acceptance and Tourism Sustainability index as follows: socio-economic, overcrowding, crime, traffic, and landscaping, and environmental dimension. The residents' attitude and acceptance of tourism and its perceived impact on the sustainable development of the destination was fairly positive and influenced mainly by the impact of tourism as an economic and social phenomenon.
