In some cases, however, opposition to the growth of backpacker enclaves has increased as problems of overcrowding, noise and litter become more evident. This leads not only to conflict between the local community and the backpackers, but also within the local community itself, between backpacker service providers and other residents. This study considers the problems associated with hostel development in Bondi Beach, Sydney, and the ways in which these problems might be tackled.

Of particular interest in these developments are situations where the emergence of 'resident tourists' involves residents transgressing boundaries of territorial stigma and fear to visit previously-avoided urban areas. Safety and security concerns and continued territorial stigma towards the Johannesburg inner city has isolated a generation of suburbanites from this urban space. Recent years have witnessed the emergence of variousoften onlinesocial media- particularly Instagram driven initiatives to bring these suburbanites into the inner city as resident tourists.
