Abstract/ Summary
Tourism has long played a central role in the economy, culture, and livelihoods of the people of the State of Maine. The long-term sustainability of this industry in the state is crucial for the current and future prosperity of both businesses and residents. Sustainable tourism has emerged as a key concept over the past few decades and its tenets have clear applicability within the state. Research on residents’ perceptions of tourism impacts and development suggest these assessments to be highly important if a community’s tourism industry is to be successful and sustainable in the long term. This study used the SUS-TAS scale.
