Research questions

Category	Research questions
Social Equity and Inclusiveness	How can tourism development better ensure the fair distribution of economic and social benefits among different community groups? What/which mechanisms could be implemented to empower marginalized or underrepresented populations within tourism decision-making processes? How do perceptions of fairness and equity influence community support for tourism initiatives? What role do gender, age and socioeconomic status play in shaping access to tourism-related opportunities and benefits? In what ways do marginalized or minority communities experience inclusion or exclusion in tourism-driven cultural narratives? What governance mechanisms best support equitable participation of underrepresented groups in tourism planning and benefit-sharing?
Resident Attitudes and Behavioral Dynamics	How do changes in resident perceptions over time influence long-term support for tourism development? What factors drive local residents to adopt pro-tourism or anti-tourism behaviors in different cultural contexts? How do past negative or positive tourism experiences shape current community attitudes and future expectations? What interventions can effectively shift resident behaviors toward more sustainable tourism support? How do tourists' perceptions of authenticity affect their engagement with local culture and traditions? In what ways do residents' perceptions of tourism impacts evolve over time with destination development?
Intercultural Exchange and Mutual Understanding	What types of tourism experiences most effectively promote meaningful cross-cultural connections/relationships between tourists and hosts? How do cultural exchange programs affect local community identity and cultural confidence? Is there any barriers exist that hinder authentic intercultural engagement in tourism settings? How do tourists cultural learning experiences influence their post-visit attitudes toward host communities?
Methodological Innovations and Approaches	How can mixed-method designs improve our understanding of sociocultural sustainability in the domain of tourism and hospitality? What innovative data collection methods (et al. digital ethnography) could be utilized to grasp more detailed community perspectives? How can longitudinal research add to tracking the long-range social impacts of tourism development? What multi-level modeling approaches can integrate individual attitudes, community-level social outcomes and destination-wide governance factors?
