“…For instance, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) included Tianshan among the World Nature Heritage Site list. Additionally, it is a remarkable tourist attraction due to outstanding snow-capped peaks and glacier-capped mountains [48]. On the other hand, the rapid economic and industrial development has been severely polluting the environment.…”

The rapid economic development of China and the industrial shift from its eastern to western provinces have resulted in significant negative impacts on the environment. Recently, tourism has emerged as an alternative for economic and environmental development, but it is a double-edged sword. Without the required measures to protect environment, the opportunity cost of tourism is environmental degradation. The western part of China holds a significant advantage for the development of travel and tourism (T&T), due to One Belt One Road (OBOR), unique ancient culture and spectacular variety of natural scenic spots. This region is among the less explored and less developed, but important, parts of China. Taking this point into consideration, this paper aims to examine the impact of tourism on the environmental pollution of five provinces located in the heart of OBOR over the period of 1991–2016. To explore this link, we used the fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) approach and Gregory-Hansen test for robustness check. We applied the Zivot-Andrews unit root test to deal with structural breaks in data. Our results confirm a negative impact of tourism on environment for Ningxia, Qinghai, Gansu, and Shanxi. However, tourism improves the environmental quality of Xinjiang. The negative impact of energy consumption and GDP growth is significant than tourism. Our findings suggest that the relationship varies for different provinces in the same region depending on the specific provincial features and government policies. Furthermore, tourism development has great potential to improve the economic and environmental sustainability in these provinces.

“…This study also similar what Qu et al and Prayag et al [7][24] that are stated destination image has a direct impact on share intention via electronic word-ofmouth. Based on Wang et al [30], destination image is one of antecedents of tourists loyalty. Tourist loyalty can be depicted by revisit and share intention via electronic word-of-mouth [31].…”

Tourism has been one of the promising industry in Indonesia for several years. However, the study of tourism in Indonesia as an object of the research is still lacking. This study shows the most important dimension of destination image among domestic and international tourists in Yogyakarta. The data was collected between February-May 2020 through an online survey and was analyzed by applying partial least structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The analyses of data collected from 254 tourists depicted that all destination image's dimensions positively affect tourist's satisfaction and their future behaviors. The most influential dimension was affective image while cognitive image became the least effective. Managerial implications are discussed with limitations and future recommendations in the last section of this paper.

“…Tourists' perceived image of a destination often affects the final decision indirectly through the perception of value and quality. A better image improves their sense of value [91][92][93]. In addition, numerous papers have verified the positive effect of trust on perceived value [94,95].…”

Destination image and safety not only affect tourist decision-making but also the sustainable development of tourist destinations. Some tourist destinations are too vulnerable to defend against emergency tourist crises, and tourists’ perceived safety can be severely biased, which is then deepened by media panic caused by the publication of excessive negative reports. This paper discusses the mechanism of perceived safety and perceived image on tourist behavioral intention, as well as the inter-group difference. Our study is based on a survey in Southern Xinjiang in which the respondents were divided into four groups. Four structural equation models were established with “perceived safety” and “perceived image” as independent variables, “destination trust” and “perceived value” as mediating variables, and “behavioral intention” as the dependent variable. The final results show that a paradox of safety perception exists in tourists’ perception of Southern Xinjiang. The perceived safety differs sharply between the tourists who have traveled to Southern Xinjiang and those who have not. The mechanism of perceived safety on tourist behavioral intention differs from that of the perceived image on tourist behavioral intention. Destination image still plays a key role in tourist traveling decision-making. The findings are of great significance for the restoration of cognitive bias, management, and marketing activities, and the sustainable development in Southern Xinjiang and similar destinations.
