TI  - Effects of Exceeding Social Carrying Capacity on Residents’ Support for Tourism: The Mediating Role of Community Participation and Quality of Life
AB  - This study examines the effects of over tourism by investigating how exceeding social carrying capacity (SCC) in destinations influences support for tourism. Furthermore, this study examines the mediating role of the quality of life (QL) and community participation in this effect. First, a measurement scale for excessing SCC construct is developed. Afterwards, proposed relationships are tested utilizing a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach using data collected from local residents living in a destination. Findings suggest that exceeding perceived SCC reduces support for tourism. Furthermore, QoL and community participation mediate the impact of SCC on residents’ support. This study makes a unique contribution to the literature by revealing the negative impact of exceeding SCC on support for tourism and the mediating roles played by the quality of life (QoL) and community participation in this relationship.
