Systematic reviews of conflicts involving local communities in tourist areas remain limited. This study analyzed 84 academic works with two aims: 1) to scrutinize the stakeholders involved in conflicts with residents in tourist destinations and the underlying causes for such conflicts, and 2) to investigate the responses of residents to these conflicts. The findings reveal that conflicts are driven by three dominant causes: socio-spatial, economic, and quality-of-life issues, involving complex stakeholder interactions. Residents’ responses fall into four quadrants, ranging from avoidance and protest to confrontation. This study offers a theoretical contribution by mapping the various actors involved in conflicts with local communities in tourist destinations and analyzing their responses to such conflicts. Future research could investigate wildlife-related conflicts and how community empowerment resists tourism development. © 2026 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
