Purpose

The present study tries to develop a model that assesses the factors that determine support for tourism development by residents of the Kashmir region.

Design/methodology/approach

Primary data have been collected (n = 650) from the residents of the top five tourist destinations through a pre-tested questionnaire by a multistage convenient sampling method. A model has been drafted and tested through the technique of structural equation modeling by applying the social exchange theory as a theoretical framework.

Findings

The results revealed that residents who perceived more benefits were more expected to support tourism development, and residents who perceive more costs were less expected to support tourism development, thus supporting the social exchange theory.

Originality/value

The results of this study are extremely useful for the local government and tourism institutions in the future planning of tourism development and also fill the vast gap in the tourism literature with a theoretical base.

居民态度和旅游发展的结构方程模型：基于 SET 的印度克什米尔地区研究

目的

本研究试图开发一个模型来评估决定克什米尔地区居民对旅游业发展的支持的因素。

设计/方法/方法

 采用多阶段便捷抽样方法，通过预先测试的问卷，从排名前五位的旅游目的地的居民中收集了原始数据（n = 650）。应用社会交换理论作为理论框架，通过结构方程建模技术起草并测试了一个模型。

发现

结果表明，感知到更多收益的居民更希望支持旅游发展，感知更多成本的居民支持旅游发展的预期更小，从而支持社会交换理论。

原创性/价值

本研究结果对地方政府和旅游机构未来旅游发展规划非常有用，也填补了旅游文献中的巨大空白，具有一定的理论基础。
