Abstract: | Resident attitudes toward tourism, and perceptions of its impacts, are often diverse. This study illustrates sn empirical evaluation of it, as well as of gains to tourism. Survey responses to hypothetical ski resort development in Åre, Sweden, indicate that some residnets gain from such an expansion while others lose. Tourists gain from expansion, but their gains are not great enough to outweigh the net losses for residents, such that the welfare change for society as a whole is negative. |
