Environment, Socio-Economy and Quality of Life in Al-Ahsa Region, Saudi Arabia In a

Residents' support for tourism development: The role of residents' place image and
perceived tourism impacts Drawing on the triple bottom line approach for tourism impacts
(economic, socio-cultural and environmental) and adopting a non-forced approach for measuring
residents' perception of these impacts, this study explores the role of residents' place image in
shaping their support for tourism development. The tested model proposes that residents' place
image affects their perceptions of tourism impacts and in turn their support for tourism
development.

satisfaction with particular life domains is affected by the perception of particular tourism impact

and their satisfaction with particulate life domains is moderated by tourism development stages.
