Stress has recently been discovered as a possible impact of tourism and tourists in host communities. The measurement of tourism related stress has been limited to direct questions about tourism and stress via traditional pen and paper surveys. In this study, we loaded the ArcGIS Survey 123 app on research participant smartphones to collect scale based, open-ended, and geospatial data on stressors in real-time by residents of a community with high levels of tourist visitation (Sedona, AZ) and a community with low levels of tourist visitation (Camp Verde, AZ), with no mention of tourism at any point in the study. Research results showed that residents of Sedona experienced tourism related stress, while residents of Camp Verde did not. In Sedona, tourism related stressors occurred mostly in 'non-tourism' or 'backstage' areas, indicating that the location of tourism and tourists plays an important role in stress experienced by residents.
