AB Residents not only act as passive subjects who experience the effects of tourism. Beyond the traditional study of their perceptions and attitudes, they are also active agents whose behaviours influence the image of the destination and the satisfaction of tourists. To date, some outstanding works have reviewed the existing literature on residents' perceptions  of  tourism  impacts  and  residents'  attitudes  toward  tourism.  However,  no  other  review  studies  have addressed the resident pro-tourism behaviour issue with the specific aim of developing a conceptual framework. This study aims to address this gapthrough a systematic review (following the PRISMA protocol) to identify and classify  residents'  behaviours  towards  tourism  and,  to  analyse  the  scales  used  to  measure  these  behaviours. Theoretical  insights  from  the  results  include:  a  classification  of  residents'  pro-tourism  behaviours;  a  focus  on measuring  active,  favourable  behaviours,  with  varying  emphasis  on  other  specific  behaviours;  and  a  merely testimonial  presence  of  quantitative  studies  measuring  anti-tourism  behaviours.  From  a  practical  standpoint,tourism managers should recognise that residents’ behaviours toward tourism can vary depending on the destination  and  the  degree  of  resident-tourist  interaction.  From  a  social  perspective,  understanding  residents' behaviour is essential for achieving balanced and sustainable tourism development
