contents LIVING IN A RURAL TOURISM DESTINATION –EXPLORING THE VIEWS OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES Elisabete Figueiredo Elisabeth Kastenholz Claúdia Pinho Estudios Territoriales Rural Tourism Tourism Impacts Social Interactions Local Inhabitants’ Attitudes This paper addresses the views of the residents of two Portuguese small villages on tourism and tourists. Starting by discussing rural areas as tourism destinations, the pa- per aims at unveil local perceptions and attitudes regard- ing the impacts and the benefits of tourism activities in the communities, as well as local views on the interaction processes with tourists. Empirical evidence demonstrates that interaction, although appreciated, is not valued in the same way in the two villages, reflecting diverse stages of tourism development. However, perceptions on the im- pacts and main beneficiaries of tourism activities are quite similar in the two communities, following the main find- ings of literature regarding residents’ attitudes towards ru- ral tourism and demonstrating a clear valorisation of the economic and social over the environmental impacts. In the same sense, local residents identify the main bene- ficiaries of tourism positive economic impacts with the agents related to the supply of tourism activities. 2014 artículo científico 1645-586X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=514351882001 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5143 Revista Portuguesa de Estudos Regionais application/pdf Associação Portuguesa para o Desenvolvimento Regional Revista Portuguesa de Estudos Regionais (Portugal) Num.36
