Abstract

The amiability of residents is an essential element of destination competitiveness. Pleasant host-guest interactions (HGIs) can create a memorable experience for tourists. Limited attention has been paid to the benefits of HGIs from the residents’ perspective. This research aims to construct a scale that measures this. Based on an extensive literature review, 52 in-depth interviews, and two surveys with residents in tourist cities, a residents’ perceived benefits scale (RPBS) is established and validated. The scale has five dimensions: emotional lift, local pride, altruism, destination attraction, and self-development. A positive link between residents’ perceived benefits and interaction intention with tourists was confirmed. The RPBS offers multidimensional insight into residents’ evaluation of HGI and serves as an instrument to predict residents’ attitudes toward tourism and support for the tourism industry. It provides a framework for practitioners to design strategies to encourage host-guest communication to enhance visitors’ experience and destination competitiveness.

居民对主客互动益处的感知：量表开发与验证

居民的亲和力是旅游目的地竞争力的一个基本要素。愉快的主客互动（HGIs）可以为游客创造难忘的体验。从居民的角度来看，人们对 HGIs 的益处关注有限。本研究旨在构建一个量表来衡量这一点。基于广泛的文献综述、52 个深度访谈以及对旅游城市居民的两次调查，建立并验证了居民感知益处量表 (RPBS)。该量表包括五个维度：情感提升、地方自豪感、利他主义、目的地吸引力和自我发展。研究证实，居民感知利益与游客互动意向之间存在正向联系。RPBS 从多维度揭示了居民对希腊旅游指南的评价，并可作为预测居民对旅游业的态度和对旅游业的支持的工具。它为从业人员提供了一个框架，以设计鼓励主客交流的战略，从而提升游客的体验和目的地的竞争力。
