Abstract

Resident empowerment is an effective tool that contributes to the sustainable development of tourism. However, in many low-income countries, tourism is usually implemented through an imperialist tourism development model, questioning the sector's true intentions for this type of development. Within this backdrop, this study aims to investigate how, under such conditions, residents' perception of imperialism is associated with residents' perceptions of empowerment and to what extent these perceptions influence their support for sustainable tourism development. To better understand these relationships, Weber's Theory of Formal Substantive Rationality and Institutional Theory were employed. This study surveyed a representative sample of 341 residents on the island of Sal, Cape Verde in 2022. Overall, results illustrate that residents' perceptions of imperialism do not affect their perceptions of empowerment, rejecting most of the research hypotheses. Theoretical and practical implications highlight that within an imperialistic tourism development model, there is not relationship between imperialims and empowerment. tourism.

帝国主义、赋权和对可持续旅游业的支持：居民能否通过帝国主义旅游发展模式获得权力？

增强居民权能是促进旅游业可持续发展的有效工具。然而，在许多低收入国家，旅游业通常是通过帝国主义旅游发展模式来实施的，这就对该部门发展旅游业的真正意图提出了质疑。在此背景下，本研究旨在探讨在这种情况下，居民对帝国主义的认知如何与居民的赋权认知相关联，以及这些认知在多大程度上影响了居民对旅游业可持续发展的支持。为了更好地理解这些关系，本研究采用了韦伯的形式实质理性理论和制度理论。本研究于 2022 年对佛得角萨尔岛 341 名居民进行了代表性抽样调查。总体而言，研究结果表明，居民对帝国主义的看法并不影响他们对赋权的看法，从而否定了大部分研究假设。理论和实践意义强调，在帝国主义旅游发展模式中，帝国主义与赋权之间没有关系。
