This study proposes a model including several antecedents (i.e. perceived destination social responsibility, community satisfaction, emotional solidarity and place attachment) to describe local residents' support for tourism. Hypotheses were tested employing survey data collected from 535 residents in an urban tourist destination in Spain. The results of a structural equation modelling approach confirmed all hypotheses showing significant and positive relationships between the variables included. This research provides new insights regarding the analysed relationships by adopting a residents' perspective and can help destination management organizations to better identify some of the community factors that influence residents' support for tourism.
