The VAB model was formulated based on a merger of emotional solidarity and theory of reasoned action constructs. Data were collected from 545 Manavgat residents between June-October of 2021. The SEM revealed that each of the eight proposed hypotheses was significant; 67% of variance in attitudes towards tourism (AT) was accounted for by welcoming nature (WN); 56% of variance in intention to support tourism (IST) was explained by WN, AT, and subjective norms; 53% of variance in pro-tourism behaviour (PTB) was accounted for by WN and IST; and 54% of variance in involvement in tourism was explained by PTB and IST. Results indicated that residents' value of tourists (i.e. WN) plays a vital role in support for tourism, and ultimately explains their involvement in tourism.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessValue-Attitude-Behaviour TheoryResidents' SupportPro-Tourism BehaviourInvolvement In TourismWelcoming NatureTheory Of Reasoned ActionArticle2-s2.0-85144222269Q1WOS:000894945200001Q110.1080/13683500.2022.2153013
