This study aims to examine the relationship between residents’ perceptions of overtourism and their support for local tourism development, influenced by resource conservation theory.
Developed an integrated structural equation model to analyze relationships among variables.
Sampled 307 residents from Chinese cities facing overtourism.
Investigated mediating and moderating factors like place dependence, group relative deprivation, and trust in government.
Perceptions of overtourism directly decrease residents’ support for tourism development.
Mediation analysis showed weakened place dependence and increased relative deprivation influence support negatively.
Trust in government partially mitigates the negative impact of overtourism perceptions on support for tourism development.
