“…Most studies have addressed the dimensions of sustainability, even if separately, and particularly from the economic standpoint (e.g., McGehee, 2007;Ollenburg & Buckley, 2007). More recently, studies have increasingly examined all three sustainability dimensions of agritourism (e.g., Barbieri, 2013;Addinsall et al, 2017), but without considering the effects of the interactions between them, thus revealing the lack of a holistic and dynamic view of sustainability. According to Fitz-Koch et al (2018), future studies on this topic should exhaustively interpret the dynamics associated with entrepreneurial phenomena, such as sustainability.…”

How farms can create and maintain sustainable agritourism is yet to be fully addressed. Given its link with sustainable development, research on agritourism sustainability, while highlighting the positive consequences, has neglected the theoretical perspectives. We thus find a lacuna in holistically understanding its driving processes and, consequently, its conceptualization. In response, this article draws extensively on the ecological economics co-evolutionary framework to explain the intertwined dynamics underlying sustainable agritourism and its determinants. Coevolution conceives the organizations-environments relationship as circular, with mutual influence, and dialectical. We analyze the dynamics of the farm-rural destination relationship through a longitudinal analysis of 20 Italian agritourism farms. We find that sustainable agritourism emerges within rural destinations through diffused multilevel interactions and feedbacks resulting in organizational practices that enhance the farm and region's identities, and thus competitiveness. We offer an interpretative framework that conceptualizes sustainable agritourism through effective multilevel co-evolutionary adaptations and identify four determinants: strategic intentionality, rural lifestyle experience, systemic approach, and social responsibility. This approach may help farmers and policymakers develop destinations through sustainable agritourism. Implications for future research and practice in the sustainable tourism field emerge.

“…These issues are linked to the achievement of the three objectives of sustainable development, i.e., the triple bottom line sometimes supported by institutional interventions [23][24][25][26][27][28], with the aim of pursuing economic growth while safeguarding conservation of natural resources by integrating the concept of circular economy.…”

The Millennials’ Concept of Sustainability in the Food Sector

2019

The aim of this study is to analyze the perception of the meaning of sustainability in the food sector. A sample of 268 University students belonging to the Millennial generation was identified and a survey was carried out to assess the interaction between this kind of Millennials and food sustainability. Collected data were explored with descriptive statistics, followed by multivariate statistical techniques to get an integrated vision of relationships among the variables. Outcomes evidence four groups of Millennials with specific peculiarities, i.e., “Socio-Nature Sensitives”, characterized by a high level of attention for the socio-economic dimension and sustainable ways of food production; “Info-Supporter”, very sensitive to labeling and warranty systems; “Proactive-Oriented”, interested in innovative activities; “Indifferent Millennials”, assigning the issue in general a low level of importance. Results provide useful information and some contribution to public institutions and private stakeholders so as to implement new rules and new tools in the food sector, so as to reach the target of reducing waste and pollution. Substantial literature on interaction between Millennials and sustainability in the food sector has not yet been developed; the aim of this pioneer study is to offer some contribution to the debate among stakeholders on driving choices towards new consumption rules and production patterns.

“…As other productive sectors, tourism is experiencing a phase of deep metamorphosis, mainly related to recent needs of the demand to integrate different meanings of the concept of sustainability, i.e., economic, environmental, social and institutional [1][2][3][4]. Indeed, the modern tourist is oriented to focus on themes geared towards more sustainable urban behaviour [5], management of natural and environmental resources [6][7][8], rediscovery of rural areas [9][10][11][12] and, generally, environmental protection.…”

Sustainability and Mountain Tourism: The Millennial’s Perspective

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract:Evidence from several studies illustrates the different points of view through which sustainability and mountains have been studied over the years. Nowadays, interest in Millennials is increasing but no research has compared Millennials and sustainability in the mountain context. This study aims at defining sustainability with reference to Millennial perception of both winter and summer mountain sports. By analysing data gathered from a sample of 2292 Millennials (Piedmont area), the authors confirm their high degree of sensitivity towards sustainable issues and, above all, discover that there are differences in the sustainable perception Millennials have of both mountain winter and summer sports. More specifically, Millennial perception is deeply influenced by the place where they are used to living-mountains or cities-and by their gender. From a managerial point of view, results have direct implications on the administrators of mountain institutions who can implement appropriate initiatives in order to correctly sensitise Millennials towards mountain sports. Moreover, from a theoretical perspective, the study opens a new scenario on two important topics linked to sustainability, namely Millennials and mountain sports.
