An Empirical Study on the Effect of Eco-Tourism Visitors’ Environmental Attitudes on Environmental Behavior

Abstract

Li -Wang: An empirical study on the effect of eco-tourism visitors' environmental attitudes - Abstract. Eco-tourism, a tourism business emerged in the end of 20 th century, covers the education awareness of environmental conservation. Without quality environment, visitors would not actively go sightseeing. For this reason, sightseeing, to some degree, is attached to the environment. Domestic and international public sectors and private sectors therefore discuss eco-tourism related issues, think of reducing the impact of eco-tourism on the environment, and maintain the right to enjoy natural resources and the environment for descendants. Visitors to Yongchun Niumulin Ecological Tourism Zone, the research object in this study, are distributed and collected the questionnaire on-site. Total 360 copies of the questionnaire are distributed, and 251 valid copies are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 70%. The research results are summarized as following. 1. Environmental attitudes present significant correlations with tourist satisfaction. 2. Tourist satisfaction shows remarkable correlations with environmental behavior. 3. Environmental attitudes reveal notable correlations with environmental behavior. The suggestion, proposed according to the research result in this study, expects to reduce the impact of eco-tourism on the environment and maintain the rights to enjoy natural resources and the environment for descendants.

The Environmental Attitudes and Behaviours of European Golf Tourists

“…Previous research on this context has been inconclusive. In the present study, this relationship between both constructs was confirmed in the three subsamples of nationalities, which is consistent with some studies [86][87][88][89][90]. Therefore, in contrast to findings from other studies [82,91,92], there is a strong association between environmental attitude and ecological behaviour in all groups of study.…”

“…Nevertheless, recent tourism studies have supported the firm correlation between attitudes and behaviours [86][87][88][89][90]. However, other studies have not supported this association [91,92] nor demonstrated that this link is relatively weak [93][94][95].…”

Analysis of Affecting Factors of Graduate Education and Employment

“…To sum up, through the above hypotheses and data analysis, it is reasonable to redact that: (1) The graduate time has a strong influence on the graduate course average score, the quality of the graduation thesis and what the students did after graduate. Therefore, for the training of graduate students, the characteristics of the students should be fully fathomed and considered.…”

Interactions and Relationships between Personal Factors in Pro-Environmental Golf Tourist Behaviour: A Gender Analysis

“…These factors influence behavioural intentions which, in turn, impact on specific actions [16]. Recently, tourism research has supported the correlation between environmental attitudes and behaviours [5,30,66,67]. However, Juvan and Dolnicar [18] studied the attitude and behaviour gap between home and vacation settings, and found that having a positive environmental attitude does not emerge as a good predictor of making environmentally-sustainable vacation choices.…”
