Resumo: This work addresses the problem of resident’s perceptions of tourism impacts and their perceptions of quality of life. Although there is a growing bank of tourism research available on these topics, specific tourism locations still need to be studied. The main goal of this research was to determine the tourism impacts in Faro, Algarve and whether links could be established between tourism impacts (positive and negative) and residents’ perceptions of quality of life, globally, and within four domains, namely: material domain, community domain, health and safety domain and emotional domain. A sample of 300 residents was utilised to collect data from Faro residents on their perceptions of tourism impacts in their location, as well as the residents’ perceptions of their quality of life in the four domains. The results contribute to the literature on tourism impacts with the perspective of the host community in a tourism destination. In addition, the study provides preliminary data on the research topic in a specific location, Faro, which was not previously studied regarding the relationship between tourism and residents. The results indicate a correlation between perceptions about tourism impacts and residents’ perceptions of quality of life within the four domains and globally. These findings open the way for a more holistic understanding of the location’s tourism environment and the interplay of tourism and the residents of the tourist location. These findings are beneficial to residents, policy planners, governing bodies and tourism operators.
