pattern. Tourism development and quality of life have long been studied, mostly from
the perspective of how tourism development affects the quality of life. Tourism growth
responds to changes in quality of life involving the direct effect of global perceived
tourism impact on global perceived quality of life, indirect effect global perceived
tourism impacts on global perceived quality of life, through life satisfaction and
happiness (material, emotional, community and health and security well-being).
Understanding the relationship between tourism development and quality of life will
broaden the explanation and goals of development and will help changing the argument
from an income and standard of living perspective to a quality of life standpoint.
Against this background, this study aims to revisit how the tourism development affects
the residents’ quality of life and to review the willingness of society to accept tourism
development occurring in their area. Such studies should be conducted as this will help
in assessing the level of the development of tourism in bringing a positive change for
the benefit and interest of the local communities.
