Urban residents of Crete are quite strong in their support for tourism. However, the residents are not homogenous in their perceptions of tourism development. Education and employment in tourism were found to be the major single factors affecting the attitudes of residents of the island. A segmentation procedure based on attitude statements produced three clusters: the Advocates (identified by their high appreciation of tourism benefits), the Socially and Environmentally Concerned (characterized by a consensus toward the environmental and social costs from tourism expansion), and the Economic Skeptics (who showed lower appreciation of tourism's economic benefits). The findings of the study are discussed with reference to the social exchange and the social representations theories and the conclusions of the study are provided. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/2109 | ISSN: | 00472875 | DOI: | 10.1177/0047287503257488 | Rights: | ©Sage Publications | Type: | Article | Affiliation: | Greek Open University | Affiliation: | Greek Open University Hellenic Mediterranean University |
