the research objectives data were collected through a questionnaire distributed among local people; 462 questionnaire forms were recollected after they were filled in by the chosen random sample of respondents. Descriptive statistic analysis was used to measure the tourism development impacts
depending on a Likert scale. Multiple regression/stepwise model was used to decide the relationship between the standard of living in Egypt as a dependent variable and the tourism development indicators as independent variables. The main results are that local people have positive attitudes
towards tourism development indicators and there are some negative sociocultural impacts of tourism development on local communities in Egypt.
