Tourists’ Environmentally Responsible Behavior in Response to Climate Change and Tourist Experiences in Nature-Based Tourism

2016

Nature-based tourism destinations-locations in which economic viability and environmental responsibility are sought-are sensitive to climate change and its effects on important environmental components of the tourism areas. To meet the dual roles, it is important for destination marketers and resources managers to provide quality experiences for tourists and to induce tourists' environmentally responsible behavior in such destinations. This study documents the importance of perceptions toward climate change and tourist experiences in determining tourists' environmentally responsible behavior while enjoying holidays at nature-based tourism destinations in Jeju Island, South Korea. Two hundred and eleven Korean and 204 Chinese tourists marked dominant tourist arrivals to the island, and responded to the survey questionnaire. Results showed that perceptions toward climate change and tourist experiences affect Korean tourists' environmentally responsible behavior intentions, whereas tourist experiences-not perceptions toward climate change-only significantly affect Chinese tourists' behavior intention. In a nature-based tourism context under the pressure of climate change and adverse environmental effects as consequences of tourism activities, resources managers and destination marketers need to develop environmental campaigns or informative tourist programs to formulate environmentally responsible behavior as well as to increase tourist quality experiences among domestic and international tourists.

“…Il concetto di resilienza inizialmente è stato analizzato in termini di fluttuazioni di mercato del turismo (O'Hare & Barrett, 1994) e di impatti provocati dal turismo sull'ambiente (Nystromet al, 2000). Successivamente l'attenzione degli studiosi si è concentrata anche sulla resilienza legata al cambiamento climatico-ambientale e ai relativi problemi di sostenibilità del turismo (Klint et al, 2012), al disastro ambientale e al management del rischio (Biggs et al, 2012;Hall, 2010), particolarmente nella prospettiva territoriale (Cochrane, 2010;Larsen et al, 2011). Più recentemente, sono stati molteplici i contributi che hanno esaminato i fattori che rafforzano la resilienza nei sistemi di governance del turismo.…”

El turismo se percibe generalmente como una fuerza motriz económica que permite a una comunidad acelerar los procesos de desarrollo económico y social. Por otro lado, crea presión y transforma el ambiente (tanto urbano como natural), especialmente cuando su crecimiento es rápido. Varios estudios analizan en profundidad el papel del turismo en el desarrollo de los lugares señalando que los efectos son diferentes y dependen de dónde se manifiesta la presión. En las ciudades, además del riesgo de superar cargas sostenibles en términos sociales y medioambientales, estamos sobre todo ante una pérdida de identidad. Esto es aún más cierto ante los shocks económicos, donde la reducción repentina de los flujos turísticos y la necesidad de contención de costes para las empresas pone en riesgo la sostenibilidad del destino turístico. En este sentido, el caso de Sicilia es emblemático pues en los últimos años ha crecido en los flujos turísticos internacionales sobre la base de una mayor apreciación de sus elementos naturales y culturales. Por tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo es describir el comportamiento de los principales destinos de turismo urbano en Sicilia en comparación con las crisis económicas ocurridas en Italia en 2008, a través de un análisis cuantitativo, evidenciando de este modo la capacidad de resiliencia de las ciudades a los cambios de los flujos turísticos.

“…certain habitats, infrastructure or resources). However, Klint et al (2012) acknowledge that there are few studies that explore the breadth of tourism climate change policies to inform adaptation and mitigation efforts. Kaján and Saarinen (2013) provide a review of the academic literature on climate change and tourism until 2012, with a specific focus on adaptation.…”

Tourism is widely acknowledged as a key contributor to climate change, but it remains unclear how the tourism industry has been planning for climate change in practice. This paper conducts the most comprehensive critical review of Australia's tourism policy and planning documents to date. The paper explores the complex challenges posed by climate change to tourism and how tourism policy has been adapting over a 15-year period. Drawing on a longitudinal dataset of 477 Australian tourism policy and planning documents at the national, state, regional and local level, this research analyses the strategic discourse on climate change using content analysis and bibliometrics. The findings reveal opportunities, challenges and strategies for the tourism industry to contribute to the sustainable management of climate change. Opportunities include developing more "green" products, while strategies include establishing and/or participating in collaborative climate change schemes and strengthening dialogue surrounding climate change to aid the implementation of sustainable practices. Future research should consider the broader policymaking environment, such as the stakeholders, power and interest dynamics when analysing tourism strategies in relation to climate change.
