Abstract
Although resident support for tourism is accepted as an important determinant of tourism success, knowledge of resident support for wineries/wine tourism has not been substantiated with academic research. This study investigates resident stakeholders’ support towards wineries/wine tourism in a non-traditional wine tourism destination, more popular for its theme parks, and identifies determinants of support. Online survey data from Florida residents living close to wineries were analyzed using a two-step analysis procedure. T-tests and one-way ANOVA were used to test the categorical variables’ relationship with resident support, followed by OLS multiple regression analysis to identify the relative influence of all relevant variables. Results did not support the influence of personal benefits from tourism based on Social Exchange Theory; instead, they indicated that the wine consumer typology identified as Loyal Florida Wine Consumer Type and Occasional Wine Consumer Type had a positive influence on resident stakeholders’ support for wineries/wine tourism in Florida.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research (JHTR) is an international scholarly research journal that publishes high-quality, refereed articles that advance the knowledge base of the hospitality and tourism field. JHTR focuses on original research, both conceptual and empirical, that clearly contributes to the theoretical development of our field. The word contribution is key. Simple applications of theories from other disciplines to a hospitality or tourism context are not encouraged unless the authors clearly state why this context significantly advances theory or knowledge. JHTR encourages research based on a variety of methods, qualitative and quantitative.
