Abstract

Based on stakeholder and social exchange theories, support for tourism development is strongly influenced by destination social responsibility (DSR). Despite the grand intentions, DSR is still being sparingly employed by Saudi destination management, probably because its effects on tourism impacts (economic, socio-cultural and environmental) are still unknown. In the context of Saudi Arabia, this study sought to provide an empirical examination of the relationship between DSR and tourism impacts, which in turn influenced residents’ support for tourism development. The study sample consisted of 452 residents gathered from three main destinations in Saudi Arabia. PLS-SEM was used to analyse the data and test hypotheses. The results indicated a positive relationship between DSR and tourism impacts such as economic, socio-cultural and environmental. Another notable finding was that two tourism impacts mediate the relationship between DSR and support for tourism development. Furthermore, community participation had a statistically significant positive moderating effect on DSR perceptions and support for tourism development. The moderation effect of community participation on this relationship was found to be a theoretical contribution to this study.

沙特阿拉伯目的地社会责任与居民对旅游发展支持的中介调节模型

基于利益相关者和社会交换理论，目的地社会责任对旅游发展支持具有重要影响。尽管有着宏伟的意图，但沙特旅游目的地管理部门仍然很少使用DSR，可能是因为它对旅游影响(经济、社会文化和环境)的影响尚不清楚。在沙特阿拉伯的背景下，本研究试图对DSR与旅游影响之间的关系进行实证检验，进而影响居民对旅游发展的支持。研究样本包括来自沙特阿拉伯三个主要目的地的452名居民。利用PLS-SEM对数据进行分析和假设检验。结果表明，DSR与旅游的经济、社会文化和环境影响呈正相关。另一个值得注意的发现是，两个旅游影响中介了DSR和旅游发展支持之间的关系。此外，社区参与对DSR感知和对旅游发展的支持具有统计学上显著的正向调节作用。社区参与对这种关系的调节作用是本研究的一个理论贡献。
