摘要

居民对旅游业的认知、态度和支持是旅游业成功的关键决定因素。因此,了解居民的看法对于旅游业的长期可持续发展至关重要。然而,尼泊尔旅游业是全球旅游业领域中最受欢迎的自然和文化旅游目的地之一,在这方面的研究却很少。在本研究中,我们评估了三个热门旅游目的地的居民对旅游业影响的看法,以及他们对未来旅游业发展的态度和后续行动:尼泊尔甘达基省的博卡拉、甘德鲁克和戈勒帕尼。通过对随机抽取的 600 名当地居民进行问卷调查,以 1 到 7 分的李克特量表收集数据。结果显示,无论人口统计学变量存在何种差异,所有居民都高度认同旅游业的收益大于普遍存在的成本。结果还显示,居民的态度和支持都受到社会经济影响的显著影响,因此,尽管预期的顾虑不多,但大多数居民都对旅游业的推广表现出积极的态度和强烈的支持。然而,未从旅游业中直接受益的居民和距离核心旅游区较远的居民则不愿意进一步推广旅游业。由此可见,不同人群并不能公平地获得旅游资源和利益。因此,为了保持该地区旅游业的长期可持续发展,利益相关方不仅需要让当地居民中的不同群体参与制定有效战略,以减轻预期的担忧,确保不同群体公平受益,还需要让他们参与制定旅游政策和旅游业发展过程。如果这一方法取得成功,它将有助于为全国其他类似旅游目的地制定可持续旅游计划和政策。

Nepalese tourism from the lens of residents: An assessment of impact perception, attitude, and action towards tourism development in Gandaki province, Nepal
Residents’ perception, attitude, and support towards the tourism industry are the key determinants of tourism success. Therefore, understanding residents’ perceptions is critically important for the long-term sustainability of the tourism industry. However, such studies are meagre in the context of Nepalese tourism, one of the most popular nature and culture-based tourism destinations in the global tourism arena. In this study, we assessed the residents’ perception towards tourism impact, and their attitude and subsequent action towards future tourism development in three popular destinations: Pokhara, Ghandruk, and Ghorepani of Gandaki province, Nepal. Data were collected on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 7 via a questionnaire survey with 600 randomly selected local residents. The result revealed that irrespective of differences in demographic variables, all the residents showed a high level of agreement that the benefits of tourism outweigh the prevalent costs. The result also revealed that both residents’ attitude and support were significantly influenced by socio-economic impacts and thus most residents despite having few anticipated concerns showed prevalent positive attitude and strong support for tourism promotion. However, residents not directly benefited from tourism and the residents of farther distance from the core touristic regions showed reluctancy for the further promotion of tourism. Thus, it suggests that diverse group of people have no equitable access to the resources and benefits of tourism. Therefore, to maintain the long-term sustainability of tourism industry in this region, the stakeholders are required to involve diverse group of local residents not only in devising effective strategies for mitigating anticipated concerns and assuring equitable benefits to the diverse group of people but also in formulating tourism policy and in the process of tourism development. Had this approach been successful, it would be instrumental in devising sustainable tourism plans and policies for similar other destinations across the entire country.
