Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2025, Vol 38, Issue 2
Abstract
This study explores the perceived impacts of tourism on the economic, sociocultural, and environmental dimensions of Sta. Fe, Bantayan Island, Cebu. Employing a descriptive quantitative research design, the study utilized a structured survey questionnaire, which was administered to a total enumeration of 44 respondents—comprising 12 government tourism officials and 32 tourism sector employees. The questionnaire measured stakeholders’ perceptions of tourism’s positive and negative effects using a 5-point Likert scale. Results revealed that tourism is perceived to have high positive impacts on employment, business growth, infrastructure, cultural pride, and environmental awareness. However, respondents also noted high to moderate negative effects, particularly in terms of seasonal employment, price inflation, and cultural commodification. These findings highlight the dual nature of tourism’s influence on local communities and underscore the need for sustainable tourism strategies that balance development with cultural and environmental preservation.
