Abstract
The impact of planners' development operations on host governments and residents has emerged as a growing subject of study in recent years, as it has become widely accepted that planners and entrepreneurs must consider the perspectives of the host community if the sector is to be successful in the long-term. However, there has been insufficient emphasis on local communities, their needs, and, most crucially, their assessment of the impact on their quality of life. This chapter discusses why and how tourism and hospitality planners must consider inhabitants' attitudes and opinions, particularly when it comes to legislation that may affect their way of life.
