    (Cinturs-Research Centre Tourism Sustainability & Well-Being, 2022) Caliskan, Ugur; Gursoy, Dogan; Ozer, Ozgur; Chi, Oscar Hengxuan
    This study examines the effects of tourism on local residents' quality of life, happiness and life satisfaction. It also examines how locals' perceptions of the level of risk the COVID-19 pandemic poses on a destination moderates those effects utilizing data collected from residents of a mature tourism destination. The results suggest that economic benefits have significant influence on happiness while environmental and socio-cultural benefits influence quality of life perceptions. Findings also indicate a moderating effect of COVID-19 risk perceptions in the relationship between tourism and happiness and quality of life. These findings suggest that the perceived risk of COVID-19 pandemic on the destination affects individuals' both affective and cognitive evaluations; therefore, it serves as an effective factor in decision-making.

    Relationship between Local Residents' Perceptions of Tourism and Support Attitudes in Post-Communist Countries: Case of Turkestan (Kazakhstan)
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Caliskan, Ugur; Ozer, Ozgur
    The impacts of tourism and reactions of local residents toward tourism are examined frequently. However, the lights have been turned to mainly developed world and destinations. Post-communist and particularly Central Asian countries have almost never been examined. Through multivariate analysis on data compiled from 250 individuals, this study explores the perceptions of Turkestan (Kazakhstan) residents about economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts of tourism and their support attitudes toward tourism development. Findings underline that perceptions of social and environmental impacts were not clear and support to tourism development is basically related to economic issues, indicating that if the locals are economically active in the tourism sector, they would support more. The study has importance since it investigates a post-communist, new emerging, and non-examined destination having different political history from the mainstream tourism destinations.
