    Gentrification is among the most common negative consequences that a fast and uncontrolled tourism growth originates. This study analyzes the influence of residents' geodemographic traits on their perceptions of tourism in Lisbon. Hence, three studies were conducted: (i) an exploratory study analyzed of the psychometric properties of the instrument used for data collection; (ii) a confirma-tory study validated the results of the Exploratory Factor Analysis; (iii) analysis of how the percep-tions of residents towards tourism is influenced by the concentration of local accommodation busi-nesses and the length of residence in each parish. Results suggest that despite the growing tourist pressure, participants have an overall positive opinion towards tourism, considering it a catalyzer of community development and of the quality of life of their parishes, due to its positive economic impacts
