Sažetak
Purpose – This study explores residents’ perceptions of community resilience and satisfaction
and their influence on sustainable tourism development.
Methodology/Design/Approach – This quantitative research was conducted in the Galapagos
Islands, an ecotourism destination. Bivariate techniques such as Spearman correlation and
stepwise multiple regression were used.
Findings – Findings show that residents are generally resilient and satisfied with tourism; they
see opportunities for resident development, especially for young people. There is also a high
level of trust and excellent communication within the community, thanks to the associations
that help to overcome negative social problems.
Originality of the research – his study confirms that a high level of community satisfaction
with the sustainable development of a destination is directly and positively related to the level
of resilience.
