Effect of Responsible Tourism Practice on the Quality of Life of Residence in Boracay Island, Philippines

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구의 목적은 필리핀 보라카이섬에서 시행하고 있는 생태관광 개발(Boracay Actipn Plan)이 주민 삶의 질에 미치는 영향관계에서 책임관광개발(RTPs: Responsible Tourism Practices)의 매개효과를 분석하는 것이다. 환경오염과 난개발로 인해 6개월간 폐쇄된 보라카이 섬의 환경보전, 개발을 위한 새로운 시도가 주민 삶에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 검증한다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 실증분석을 위해 지역주민 366명을 대상으로 설문조사를 시행하였으며, 위계적 회귀분석을 통해 생태관광개발과 주민 삶의 질과의 관계에서 RTPs의 매개효과를 분석하였다. 분석결과 관광개발 변수 중 비용대비효과, 지역경제성장이 직접적인 영향요인으로 확인되었으며, RTPs 변수 중 지역사회의 인식증대와 지역주민의 생태적 수용능력이 주민의 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 유의미한 요인으로 분석되었다. 즉 지역주민들은 관광개발이 개인뿐만 아니라 지역사회에 혜택을 제공한다는 것을 인지하고 있음을 시사한다. 따라서 생태보호와 지속가능한 개발이라는 관점에서 주민참여의 중요성과 RTPs를 통한 지역사회 주민의 생태수용능력, 인식증대와도 관련성이 높은 만큼 정책의 이해관계자들은 개발의 계획단계부터 주민참여를 활성화하여야 할 것이며, 주민의 참여와 생태관광의 활성화를 위해서는 정부와 주민간의 적극적인 소통전략이 요구되며, 생태관광개발 종사자에 대한 교육을 제공하여야 할 것이다.

The objective of the research is to analyze the effects of tourism development on the quality of life of Boracay residents. The study determined whether responsible tourism practices (RTPs) mediate two identified variables. The effects of the environmental preservation and development of Boracay Island, which has been closed for 6 months due to environmental pollution and indiscriminate development, on the residents should be evaluated. The study utilized questionnaire surveys administered to 366 residents in Barangays via purposive sampling. Results imply that the residents of Boracay Island are well aware of the benefits that tourism development brings to their personal needs and the community. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that RTPs mediate the effects of tourism development on the quality of life of the residents. This study recommends strengthening the synergy of concerned stakeholders, including the local community, for community-related issues to be addressed as early as the initial planning process. To encourage Strategic communication undertakings, such as e-business, are needed to encourage proactive communication from them. Lastly, stakeholders may further boost sustainable tourism development efforts. This includes effective planning that requires proper education and training of people engaged in tourism activities.
