Resumo: In the literature on tourism several models have been proposed in order to analyze the direct and/or indirect effects of the perceived impacts of tourism and the assessment of such effects by the resident community in the tourist destination. The objective of this study is to analyze resident attitude in a rural-cultural destination towards visitors, either tourists or day-trippers in the tourism destination. Furthermore, we analyze the potential factors likely to influence on attitude formation and its potential use in the development of the tourist destination. As a result of our study, we observe significantly different attitudes towards tourism depending on degree of local development and use of tourism resources by residents.
