This essay is trying to critically analyse the journal article written by A Lepp (2008) entitled ‘Attitudes towards initial tourism development with no prior tourism experience: the case of Bigodi, Uganda’. The journal use qualitative method to assess the resident’s attitudes towards the start up of tourism programs in a rural village in Uganda. Due to the geographical isolation they couldn’t establish any tourism attractions prior to the 1990’s. But in 1991 the country initiated to introduce some tourism projects and eventually it formulated year by year. And this study is conducted on the basis of the interview taken in the residents of Bigodi in 2003. So the study proves that the signs of initial tourism created anxiety, suspicion and fear to the local people who experience it as an entirely new concept. The journal article gives a brief idea about the general attitudes about developing tourism concepts to an undeveloped country.
The article starts with the usual style introduction and rationale for the study. Then the literature review begin with the theory of Doxey (1976) who introduce the Irridex model which suggest that the residents attitudes towards the tourism development will pass through the different stages including ‘ Euphoria’, ‘Apathy’, ‘Irritation’ and ‘ ‘Antagonism’(Wang, 2006 p: 412). He supports Harril (2004) who says that there is not enough study conducted on the proposed tourism to find the residents attitudes. Instead of that the researches are takes place on the established tourisms. Keogh(1990), Jhonson et.al (1994), Hernandez et. Al (1996) and Cheyne (2000) are shown as the literatures rose about the attitudes of residents towards the future tourism operations and they all listed certain positive a...

If local needs are need to be met, sustainable tourism requires the participation of local communities. Conversely, residents that are poorly informed, marginalised or alienated from decisions making are likely to respond within hospitable attitudes toward current and future tourism developments (Butcher, 1997). Visitors need to feel welcomed at a destination. Destinations that fail to provide this genuine hospitality are at a disadvantage to those that do. Hospitality represents the social capital associated with a destination, and while it is relatively intangible it plays a significant role in the sustainability of tourism initiatives.

Tourism impacts can be generally classified into seven categories with each having both positive and negative impacts. These impacts include; economic, environmental, social and cultural, crowding and congestion, taxes, and community attitude. It is essential for a balance on array of impacts that may either positively or negatively affect the resident communities. Different groups are concerned about different tourism impacts that affect them in one way or another. Tourism’s benefits can be increased by use of specific plans and actions. These can also lead to decrease in the gravity of negative impacts. Communities will not experience every impact but instead this will depend on particular natural resources, development, or spatial patterns (Glen 1999).
For locals and employees to be adaptive and capable of handling many tourists, they must feel supported by all actors involved, from their team mates and bosses to government policies. By creating an environment where all stakeholders and members of the community are informed and involved in the decision-making process surrounding local tourism, the better communities will respond to tourism (Budeanu, et al., 2016).

How a community responds to the opportunities and challenges of tourism and festival depends to a large extent on its attitude to the respective industry. Values and beliefs held by individuals in a community are inextricably linked and shape people’s attitudes and the way they act in specific situations (Derrett, 2005: 40). Derrett (2005) says that values, interests and aspirations of individuals are influenced by their natural environment. How this leads to a sense of community that influences how the community celebrates; that affects the community’s wellbeing, which is shared with visitors who in turn interact with host community; they now have a shared image and identity to reflect and determine their values and beliefs. Derrett (2005) suggests that festival allows local people to satisfy their leisure needs and residents are able to work as volunteers at large and small events. That is shown as another way for visitors to get a sense of local values and interests. This in turn can help break down the host-guest gulf that can exist when large numbers of visitors descend on a destination.

In the article, “Stakeholders’ Contribution in Sustainable Tourism” A. Kadi, M. Jaafar, & F. Hassan (2015) seeks to explain how tourism stakeholders affect tourism destinations and the need for collaboration between all the stakeholders.
