Abstract

We are increasingly confronted with external factors that affect or promote sustainable tourism development. The pandemic triggered by COVID-19 has shown that to effectively manage uncertainty, it is essential to include perceived risk as a predictor variable. This study analyses residents′ support for sustainable tourism development in low-density territories and proposes a model that takes into account several known antecedents for this support (community attachment, community involvement, economic dependence, local government management of tourism, tourism impact) and gives relevance to the perception of risk, largely ignored in academic studies and from the residents′ perspective. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection, applied to a sample of 250 residents from Lamego-Portugal, a low-density territory. The data was analysed using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results show that perceived risk (associated with COVID) significantly affects the perceived costs of tourism, but has no direct influence on residents′ support for sustainable tourism development. This support is positively affected by community involvement, economic dependence, local government management of tourism and perceived costs. The results also show that community involvement and local government management of tourism have a positive impact on perceived benefits. The results can help tourism professionals strengthen sustainable tourism development programmes.

驾驭不确定性:感知风险在支持低密度地区旅游业可持续发展中的作用
我们越来越多地面临着影响或促进旅游业可持续发展的外部因素。COVID-19 引发的大流行表明,要有效管理不确定性,必须将感知风险作为预测变量。本研究分析了低密度地区居民对旅游业可持续发展的支持,并提出了一个模型,该模型考虑到了支持的几个已知前因(社区依恋、社区参与、经济依赖、当地政府对旅游业的管理、旅游业的影响),并与风险感知相关,而风险感知在学术研究中以及从居民的角度来看大多被忽视。数据收集采用了结构化问卷调查法,对葡萄牙拉梅戈(一个人口密度较低的地区)的 250 名居民进行了抽样调查。数据采用结构方程模型(SEM)进行分析。结果表明,感知风险(与 COVID 相关)会显著影响旅游的感知成本,但不会直接影响居民对旅游业可持续发展的支持。而社区参与、经济依赖性、地方政府对旅游业的管理和感知成本则对这种支持产生积极影响。结果还显示,社区参与和地方政府对旅游业的管理对感知收益有积极影响。这些结果有助于旅游专业人员加强可持续旅游发展计划。
