Davison (1996) and Allen, Long, Perdue and Dieselbach (1988) however suggest that tourism development in each community is diff erent and the tolerance of tourism activities are dependant on several encouragement factors together with the economic, socio-cultural and environment of each community. Lanfant (1980) and Murphy (1985) also claim that eff ects from tourism development have a more visible eff ect in rural destinations than in urban areas and the result has a greater eff ect on local residents. Th e perceptions from local residents are infl uenced by a number of factors together with the degree of contact that they relate with tourists which also includes personal economic dependence on the tourism industry. Based on the argument that rural communities are very fragile, the growth of tourism could rapidly aff ect local communities in the destination. Th e impacts from tourism development also infl uence local perception in each community in diff erent degrees depending on the factors and local residents’ interaction with the industry. Fariborz (2009) states that the tourism industry is concerned with human and environmental costs besides giving benefi ts to the local residents involved. Th e local community is a necessary condition for improving the development procedure. Local residential tourism is understood as the natural reaction to a certain demand from tourists in the market. Th e rural areas become urbanized for the purpose of generating income. Lack of planning by political authorities and developers create many of the negative impacts. As time passes, local people can relatively see clearly what eff ects have been most damaging and which have been most advantageous. Based on his research on the economic impact of tourism, Stynes (1999) suggests that the major motivation of a business or government to provide services for tourists is commonly based on substantial economic gains. A private business is interested only for its own income and costs, while a community concerned with tourism is based on economic contributions together with social and environmental impacts. Meanwhile, Global Insight (2005) has studied the economic impact of travel and tourism in Palm Beach County, Florida and found that the whole economic impact of tourist is separated into
