“…First, the results suggest that EA had a significant positive effect on the DI to stay in green hotels. This echoes the findings reported by Chan and Hsu [35] in that greater consumer EAs correspond to stronger DIs to stay in green hotels. Likewise, the SNs and PBC of consumers were revealed to have significant positive effects on their DI, which is in agreement with the findings of Yadav and Pathak [60] in that when the parents, spouses, and peers of a consumer assume positive attitudes toward green hotels, the consumer's own DI to stay in green hotels increases, thereby enhancing their corresponding BIs.…”

Environmental Consciousness and Green Customer Behavior: The Moderating Roles of Incentive Mechanisms

et al. 2019

Consumer awareness of environmental protection and energy conservation concepts has prompted businesses in the hotel industry to adopt green operations. Most studies of the hotel industry have discussed the behavioral intentions (BIs) of consumers based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), but they have not considered emotional and motivational factors. The present study incorporated two incentive mechanisms and the anticipated positive and negative emotions of consumers into the TPB to explore the relationship between BIs and green hotel development. Structural equation modeling was applied to test the research hypotheses. The results indicate that (1) a positive correlation exists between environmental attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control (PBC), positive anticipated emotion, and desire intention (DI), and a negative correlation exists between negative anticipated emotions and DI; (2) a positive correlation exists between PBC, DI, and BI; and (3) an incentive mechanism has a moderating effect on the relationship between DI and BI.

“…Environmental attitude (EA) refers to the collection of beliefs, DIs, and BIs a person holds regarding environmental activities or concerns [35]. According to Hirose [36], environmentally friendly behavior is determined by goal intentions (general attitudes) and BIs (intentions to perform certain actions).…”

“…Moreover, respondents fear that water and energy saving measures could constrain a certain level of quality in their tourist accommodation services and products, at least from their clients' perspective. This finding is not in line with previous studies, which highlight that consumers growing attention toward ecological issues has fostered accommodation managers to implement environmental management initiatives [23,[113][114][115]. However, the study site of the present research must be considered in this context.…”

Environmental Management Practices within Agritourism Boarding Houses in Romania: A Qualitative Study Among Managers

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Small accommodation businesses such as agritourism boarding houses (ATBHs) provide a large share of accommodating capacity in certain rural destinations. Despite their small accommodation capacity, ATBHs consume substantial quantities of water and energy; this consumption implies high environmental costs. The present study aims to explore opinions of ATBH owner-managers regarding water and energy consumption in their businesses, what motivates them to adopt environmental practices, and the specific saving measures used within the tourist accommodation units they manage. A qualitative research was conducted, using semi-structured interviews among 12 Romanian ATBH owner-managers. Data analysis revealed that the interviewed owner-managers understand the importance of natural resource conservation in tourist destinations but they are not willing or have insufficient financial, time, organizational resources, etc. to engage in serious water and energy saving initiatives. Moreover, most interviewed managers indicated that tourists cannot make a significant contribution to natural resources conservation in accommodation units and perceive water and energy saving systems as more effective than the environmental education of visitors in their facility. These findings may be useful to tourism policy-makers and environmental organizations in order to develop effective environmental strategies in ATBHs.

“…Numerous studies have been conducted by utilizing bibliometric methods to illuminate methods, prolific and influential scholars and/or institutions, intellectual structure, the knowledge domain by year, the geographic area of different disciplines, specific research themes within disciplines, and the level of maturity of topics (e.g., Barrios et al, 2008;Benckendorff, 2009;Chan & Hsu, 2016;Fagerberg et al, 2012;Fong et al, 2016;Gomezeli, 2016;Gregory & Weinland, 2016;Howey et al, 1999;Landstrom et al, 2012;Meyer-Arendt & Justice, 2002;Page, 2003;Palmer et al, 2005;Park, et al, 2011;Ye et al, 2013).…”

Highlights This study evaluates progress on bibliometric studies in tourism. Systematic review studies emerged as the major group. Relatively few studies utilized evaluative and relational bibliometric studies. Samples of bibliometric studies were formed from articles mainly indexed by SSCI. The main implication is that unknown patterns have not been revealed. AbstractThis study evaluates bibliometric studies in tourism, depicts emerging themes, and offers critical discussions for theory development and future research. To achieve this aim, 190 papers with bibliometric analyses from leading hospitality and tourism journals were selected and critically analyzed. The research findings reveal that bibliometric articles published in these journals significantly increased after 2008. However, systematic review studies emerged as the major group, and relatively few studies utilized evaluative bibliometric and relational bibliometric studies. Study results suggest that paucity still exists, particularly in relational bibliometric studies in tourism. This is one of the first studies in this area that offers critical discussions and suggestions related to theory development and future research in this research vein.
