7. Discussion
- (1)
- We must strengthen residents’ perceptions of interest in tourism development. Resident perception of interests significantly affects residents’ and tourists’ emotional solidarity and attitudes toward tourism development. We can focus on increasing opportunities for local residents, improving local transportation, and increasing residents’ insights to help them benefit from glacier tourism development and enhance their perception of the positive impact of developing glacier tourism. When formulating development policies, tourism management should continuously work on improving residents’ living standards, improving local transportation conditions, etc., while further increasing employment opportunities for residents, promoting local cultural heritage, protecting the local ecological environment, and effectively meeting residents’ needs. At present, the glacier tourism destination resident response to the publicity of scenic areas is not enough, glacier tourism products are relatively isolated, the tourist interaction time is short, and the sustainable development of glacier tourism is not appropriate. Thus, the management of tourist sites should increase marketing and planning to diversify glacier tourism products to attract more tourists, increase economic income, and improve the visibility and image of the scenic spot.
- (2)
- We must enhance resident emotions towards their location. In this paper, we found that the residents’ emotions towards the place is an important driver of host–guest emotional solidarity and residents’ attitudes towards tourism. The higher the residents’ emotions towards the place, the more they tend to invest their own resources to produce good emotional relationships and social interactions with tourists, which leads to supporting the development of glacier tourism. Relevant management departments of glacier tourism places should actively guide and cultivate residents’ emotions towards the site, encourage them to understand local culture in depth, strengthen publicity and guidance, and encourage them to actively participate in social activities, so that they can find things they like to do locally and thus develop a sense of attachment to the place.
- (3)
- We must promote residents’ emotional solidarity with tourists. Residents’ emotional solidarity with tourists will not only affect residents’ sense of security, but also their support and satisfaction. Therefore, tourism management should actively explore, through various community organizations, ways to enhance education, promote positive interactions between community residents and tourists, build a harmonious and trusting host–guest relationship, and enhance residents’ emotional connection and identification with tourists. Tourism place management should plan festivals with the participation of multiple subjects to create opportunities for host–guest exchanges and promote positive relationships between residents and tourists. At the same time, they can also actively promote tourism volunteer activities and set up visiting points for community residents to promote host–guest communication and enhance host–guest emotions, thus encouraging residents to welcome visiting tourists and treat them equally.
