Thus, the effort needs to be made towards the promotion of the region not only to outsiders such as tourists, but rather to residents themselves, the inhabitants of the place, who need to see the attractiveness of the region;then, they may realize that the tourism development can take place in a sustainable way and be part of it (Cassel, 2008). Residents are also stakeholders of a region who want their businesses to be successful and viable; their primary work is many times associated with tourism. By creating networks where residents -who are at the same time businessmen of the region- cooperate together for the personal but also for the common interest, emotional attachment and relationship maintenance is enhanced (Lee, Lee, Taylor & Lee, 2011). Such attachment to the community, may contribute so that residents may view the tourism development as a channel of growth in a sustainable way where decisions will be collectively taken, minimizing potential second thoughts residents may have. On the one hand, benefits can be summarized as an increase in recreational facilities and entertainment, improved police and fire protection, the community becomes well known and here is a sense of pride (Williams and Lawson, 2001) while on the other, negative impacts and fear for raising children in an unsafe environment with an increase in crime rate, pollution, traffic congestion may exist (Zhang, 2008: 23). It is thus, worthwhile to examine hosts’ attitudes of tourism impact related to areas where a combination of elements for the sustainable development exists-since little research has taken place. The issue that is raised is whether residents as stakeholders have realized the significant role they play and whether networks have been implemented to incorporate them for a successful development and communication of the region
