Abstract

© 2018 Texas A and M University. The aim of the present research is to identify the support of Emirati nationals towards EXPO 2020. Perceived positive and negative event impacts, and perceived individual support were investigated. An fsQCA modelling approach technique was employed in order to measure, estimate and confirm the different casual paths constructs, as well as to test the significance of the paths between different segments. Results indicate positive impacts have a significant and important relationship with tourism perceptions. On the contrary, negative impacts do not have a significant impact on tourism perceptions. The research contributes to the literature and practice.
