... Although the topic of tourist information search has been widely discussed in the literature (see, e.g., Murray 1997, 1999;Fesenmaier and Vogt 1998;Bieger and Lesser 2004;Gursoy and McCleary 2004;Hyde 2009), there is little evidence of research on the role of tourist information offices as external information sources and particularly on their capacity to meet visitors' expectations. Some studies analyze the influence that these offices have on tourists' travel behavior, length of stay, and expenditure (see, e.g., Deery et al. 2005;Deery et al. 2007;Fesenmaier 1994;Fesenmaier, Vogt, and Stewart 1993;Gitelson and Perdue 1987;Perdue 1986Perdue , 1995Tierney 1993). Others discuss the nature of the information exchange process, focusing on the quality of the encounter between staff members and clients (Wong and McKercher 2011), analyze the information quality effects of traditional versus online media used by TIOs on visitor experience (D'Ambra and Mistilis 2008) or the changing nature of information provision from face-to-face to virtual visitors, and develop a taxonomy of visitors' information needs and tasks (D'Ambra and Mistilis 2010). ...

... The analysis of such data focuses on identifying groups based on similarities and differences in attitude and perception with regard to the phenomenon under investigation. Most studies limit themselves to representing community residents as spatially homogeneous groups that, at most, can be divided into demographic or attitude-based clusters (see for example, Fredline et al., 2005Fredline et al., , 2006Fredline & Faulkner, 2000, 2001Madrigal, 1995;Zhou & Ap, 2009). Although Fredline et al. (2005) outlined attitudebased clusters with regard to similarly themed events in different communities as well as differently themed events in one community, they stopped short of capturing the spatial distribution of attitude clusters in relation to one or a collection of events. ...

... Festivals and events have made significant financial contributions to small towns and are seen as strategies to promote small towns (Donaldson 2018). Even so, a single annual event has only limited potential benefits for a community (Deery, Jago & Milner 2004). But festivals and events do have symbiotic relationships with their destinations (Rojek 2014) and they are recognised for extending tourist seasons, encouraging investment, generating revenue and boosting local economies (Derrett 2003). ...

... Η διαρροή αυτή μπορεί να μεταβάλλεται σημαντικά ανάλογα με τη χώρα, τις υποδομές της, τα γεωγραφικά και άλλα χαρακτηριστικά του τουριστικού προορισμού, την κατηγορία της τουριστικής δραστηριότητας και τη σύνθεση της παραγωγής, ιδιαίτερα σε σχέση με τον αγροτικό τομέα (Ramjee , τη διαθεσιμότητα και την ποικιλία τοπικών προϊόντων και, ειδικότερα, τροφίμων (Bélisle, 1984). Η σημασία των εισαγωγών έχει αναγνωριστεί διεθνώς για την ακριβή μέτρηση των οικονομικών και κοινωνικών επιδράσεων και των στρατηγικών διαχείρισης του τουριστικού κλάδου (Clayton and Karagiannis, 2008;Dwyer et al., 2006;Shakeela et al., 2011). Η αναλογία των εισαγόμενων (ενδιάμεσων και τελικών) προϊόντων και υπηρεσιών που ενσωματώνεται στην αξία της εγχώριας ζήτησης και των εξαγωγών, και το συνεπαγόμενο μέγεθος της διαρροής της εγχώριας ζήτησης, αναφέρεται και ως «εισαγόμενη συνιστώσα» (import content). ...

... Although the resident human population at Ningaloo is low (a combined population of <3,000 people in Exmouth and Coral Bay: Figure 5.4f), more than 150,000 people visit each year, most of whom visit for tourism (Jones et al. 2011; Figure 5.4e). A large proportion of these tourists engage in activities that interact with the marine ecosystem, including fishing and snorkelling, as well as interactions with wildlife such as whale sharks . ...

... Concomitantly, there has been a growing number of studies (see Table I) investigating the impact of events on the physical attributes of a host destination and in particular, the greening of events ) and associated issues pertaining to the adoption of environmentally friendly practices, and the management processes necessary to accomplish reduction of waste and of the event's overall ecological footprint. The increasing dominance of this view encouraged the development of the triple bottom line approach to event evaluation (Fredline et al., 2004;Sherwood, 2007) and, it is within this context that research focusing on event sustainability has gained traction (Hede, 2007). ...

... The question is not "if" tourism has an impact on wellbeing in both groups, but "what are the factors" that emerge given the reactions. Consideration include the geographical distance of local communities from tourist such the local will not witness dysfunctional behavior [105][106][107][108][109][110][111]; level of annoyance related to ratio of tourists to locals [112]; cultural and religious values represented by tourists and within local communities [105][106][107][113][114][115][116][117]; community attachment [105,107,113,115,117,118]; place and context of meetings between locals and tourists [119,120]; and the level of profit from tourism by the involved individuals or their families [76,105,107,111,116,119,121]. The host-guest relationship is of key significance here as it always has a concrete impact on wellbeing, increasing or decreasing the wellbeing of both groups [120,[122][123][124][125][126][127]. ...

... For the purpose of developing a more comprehensive approach to assessing the impacts of sport and tourism events, the concept of the triple bottom line (TBL) has been proposed and increasingly used by researchers (Andersson & Lundberg, 2013;Elkington, 2008;Fredline et al., 2005). e adoption of the TBL approach by event organizers and tourism industry stakeholders calls for the comprehensive consideration of not only economic factors but also the social and environmental dimensions of their activities. ...

The economic factor generates employment and income among residents; the social factor has a deep effect on the daily life of the inhabitants as it includes relations with visitors, tolerance, or a sense of well-being, and constitutes any effect on the quality of life of the inhabitants (Fredline, Jago, and Deery 2005). ...
