“…Submission to authority is the only characteristic correlating positively with the other four (Farh et al, 2007). Thus, CT is thought to represent the cultural value of one's submission to authority in this study, consistent with some previous studies (Farh et al, 1997;Wang and Zhang, 2020). Farh et al (1997) introduced the concept of CT from social psychology into organisational behaviour and argued that individuals with varying levels of CT exhibited a wide range of attitudes and behaviours, as confirmed in subsequent studies (Wang and Zhang, 2020;Yang et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2021).…”

“…To assess ATT, four items were adapted from Martín et al (2018). CT was evaluated with five items adapted from Wang and Zhang (2020). Given the similarity between participants and behaviours, the four items from Ribeiro et al (2017) were used to evaluate PBI.…”

“…Therefore, the research gap necessitates expanding the literature in this field to understand why residents support tourism in their communities and how the influencing factors affect each other. To be specific, the scientific discourse should increase its emphasis on deeper examinations of residents' HTI, PI, CT and attitudes to achieve sustainable tourism development (Wang and Zhang, 2020;Xiong et al, 2021;Zaman and Aktan, 2021).…”

How Residents' Attitudes to Tourists and Tourism Affect Their Pro-tourism Behaviours: The Moderating Role of Chinese Traditionality

2022

Although sufficient attention has been paid to residents' attitudes to tourism in previous studies, few studies have used residents' attitudes to tourists and tourism simultaneously to explain their support for tourism. This study fills this gap by examining the effect of place image and host–tourist interactions on residents' attitudes to tourists and tourism, respectively, and their consequent reactions by considering the moderating effect of Chinese traditionality. The proposed model is tested using data from 357 residents living in Huangshan, a fifth-tier city in China. Results demonstrate that attitudes to tourism and host-tourists interaction positively affect their pro-tourism behaviours. Moreover, attitudes to tourism mediate place the image's, host–tourists interaction's and attitudes to tourists' respective relationships with pro-tourism behaviours. Furthermore, the higher the Chinese traditionality of residents, the stronger the influence of their attitudes to tourism on pro-tourism behaviours. However, the relationship of place image and attitudes of residents towards tourists with pro-tourism behaviours are not supported. Findings offer critical implications for planners, practitioners and interested researchers.

“…Among these five aspects, submission to authority is the most prominent one. CT is, hence, posited to reflect the cultural value of one's submission to authority in the present study, which is also aligned with some previous studies (Wang and Zhang, 2020;Zhao, 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to incorporate Chinese traditionality (CT) and patriotism (PAT) within the theory of reasoned action (TRA). It tests the moderating effect of gender with the aim to provide a deeper understanding of why Chinese tourists choose to take domestic travels. Design/methodology/approach Data is collected from 370 Chinese tourists. Convenience sampling is used. Structural equation modelling is used to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings The results of this paper show that PAT is positively related to tourists’ attitudes (ATs) and Chinese domestic travel intention (CTI). Moreover, CT is found to influence PAT, ATs and subjective norms (SNs) directly, as well as CTI indirectly. However, the positive relationship between PAT and SNs is not supported. Additionally, the influence of PAT on CTI for females is significantly higher than that for males. Research limitations/implications The current paper adopts convenience sampling; data is collected using an online questionnaire which may cause sample bias and even reduce the reliability of the data. Future studies may adopt quota sampling based on the population of each province to gain more reliable data. Further research can consider including more constructs to better understand why Chinese people choose to travel domestically. Originality/value This paper is one of the first attempts to include PAT and CT within the TRA and contributes to the pool of literature on the TRA. It provides a comprehensive understanding of CTI. Second, PAT and CT are linked to the TRA, which expands the application of PAT and CT to the context of hospitality and tourism. Finally, the moderating role of gender contributes to the knowledge regarding the moderating effect between their respective relationships.

The current study develops a second order measurement instrument for sustainable tourist behaviour through confirmatory factor analysis from tourists' responses based on three prominent destinations in India namely, Goa, Munnar and Manali. Factorial validity, invariance analysis and nomological validity were also assessed. Resultsshowed that STB is a second order reflective factor consisting of destination specific pro-environmental, socially responsible, environmental learning, cultural and economically favourable behaviours. Furthermore, while environmental engagement is a significant enabler for STB, the latter contributes significantly in the development of memorable experiences and tourist satisfaction.
