This essay attempts to critically analyze the article written by A Lepp (2008) entitled 'Attitudes towards initial tourism development without previous tourism experience: the case of Bigodi, Uganda '. The journal uses a qualitative method to assess residents' attitudes towards starting tourism programs in a rural village in Uganda. Due to geographical isolation it was not possible to create any tourist attractions before the 1990s. But in 1991 the country started to introduce some tourism projects which were eventually formulated year after year. And this study was conducted on the basis of the interview carried out with the inhabitants of Bigodi in 2003. The study therefore demonstrates that the first signs of tourism have created anxiety, suspicion and fear among the local population who experience it as a completely new concept. The journal article gives a brief idea of ​​the general attitudes regarding the development of tourism concepts in an underdeveloped country. The article begins with the usual stylistic introduction and the logic of the study. Subsequently the literature review begins with the theory of Doxey (1976) introducing the Irridex model which suggests that residents' attitude towards tourism development will go through the different stages including "Elation", "Apathy", "Irritation" and "Antagonism". '(Wang, 2006 p: 412). It supports Harril (2004) who states that not enough studies have been conducted on tourism proposals to identify residents' attitudes. Instead the research is carried out on consolidated tourism. Keogh (1990), Jhonson et al (1994), Hernandez et. Al (1996) and Cheyne (2000) show how the literature on residents' attitudes towards future tourism operations has grown and they have all listed some positive factors...... middle of paper ...... and development environmental ) the attitudes of bigodi residents began to change. Because their involvement is aware of the benefits that can arise from the implementation of tourism in their village. If local needs need to be met, sustainable tourism requires the participation of local communities. In contrast, residents who are poorly informed, marginalized, or alienated from decision-making are likely to respond with hospitable attitudes toward current and future tourism developments (Butcher, 1997). Visitors need to feel welcomed in a destination. Destinations that fail to provide this genuine hospitality are at a disadvantage compared to those that do. Hospitality represents the social capital associated with a destination and, although relatively intangible, plays a significant role in the sustainability of tourism initiatives.
