Download or read book Sustainable Tourist Behaviour a Discussion of Opportunities for Change written by Adriana Budeanu and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research shows that despite their declared positive attitudes towards sustainable tourism, only a few tourists act accordingly by buying responsible tourism products, choosing environmentally friendly transportation or behaving responsibly towards destination communities. The low support from customers is one of the main barriers for progress towards sustainable tourism. One reason can be that existing initiatives are missing customers' attention, discouraging industry and governments to continue promoting sustainable tourism. Positive attempts to encourage sustainable consumption in other sectors indicate that specific barriers may reside in the nature of tourist choices. Taking a critical look at tourism research and literature, this article examines the interplay between reasons for tourists' choice of products and services, and environmental motivations. After identifying possible gaps that may explain current failures to stimulate responsible tourist choices, the article concludes by discussing the implications for the effectiveness of informative and awareness-raising tools aimed to facilitate the shift towards responsible tourist behaviour and actions.

Download or read book Promoting Tourists Responsible Behaviour written by Shiyi Chen and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While bringing happiness to tourists and facilitating economic development, tourism has also had multiple negative impacts. To promote responsible tourist behaviours, some destinations have introduced a responsible tourist pledge on their official travel website. However, its application in a responsible tourism context is still not well understood. This research investigates the effectiveness of using a pledge to promote sustainable travel behaviours in tourists. An online experiment was conducted with a sample of 140 Canadian outbound travellers. Results illustrate that a pledge alone does not cause sustainable travel behaviours, instead finding that values are able to predict tourists' responsible travel behaviours. Further, finding that the interaction of signing a pledge and participant self-transcendence value was found to influence the behavioural intention to support the local economy. The findings provide practical implications for destinations in selecting strategies to encourage sustainable travel behaviours as well as theoretical implications for future studies.
