Raquel Camprubí

This paper suggests using risk perception theory to investigate local communities’ perceptions of emerging tourism destinations. Bearing in mind previous research on local communities’ perceptions in the tourism field and risk perception in other fields, this research note justifies the value of studying residents’ risk perception and proposes directions for future study.
