“…Research on sustainability in golf has increased in recent years from the perspective of golf courses [15,[23][24][25][26][27][28]. Hence, there is a substantial literature on golf courses on their negative environmental impacts, especially with respect to excessive water use [29,30], environmental pollution [31], chemical inputs [32,33], and effects on wildlife and habitat [34,35].…”

Environmental attitudes and behaviours have received relatively little attention in golf tourism, compared to other tourism research areas. Golf tourism provides products and services based on nature, and they should focus on the environment. Golf has become increasingly important in the development of European tourism within the last decade. Moreover, golf is one of the primary motivations for European tourists in the sports tourism sector. This study is based on a sample of 431 golf tourists, from different nationalities, who visit Andalusia, Spain. This research examines the relationship between environmental attitudes and behavioural intentions for three subsamples of European nationalities: British, German, and Spanish. This relationship was corroborated in the three subsamples. However, the national citizenship of European golf tourists was not a moderator effect on the relationship between environmental attitudes and behavioural intentions.

“…This paper is conducted in the context of the golf tourism. In this sense, there is an extensive literature on golf courses and their negative environmental impacts, such as excessive water use, environmental pollution, chemical inputs and effects on wildlife and habitat [24][25][26][27]. However, as Minoli and Smith [28] affirm, golf courses have positive and negative environmental impacts.…”

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

2019

There is a very clear link between tourism and sustainability due to the importance and consequences of the tourism sector in the world economy. Behavioural studies are among the major topics of sustainable tourism research. There are several factors that influence our sustainable behaviour at home and in vacation settings. In general, the main objective of this paper is to examine the personal factors in pro-environmental tourist behaviour from a gender perspective. This study is based on a sample of 347 golf tourists from 16 European countries. The results corroborated the relationships between ecological habits, personal capabilities and environmental attitudes. However, interactions between personal factors were more limited. It was shown that only the interaction between personal capabilities and externally-oriented habits have an influence on environmental attitudes. Also, some gender differences were found.

“…Li et al [39] found that chlorothalonil and phosfolan-methyl from golf courses influenced the surrounding water environment greatly, chemical oxygen demand (COD cr ) reached a maximum concentration of 122 mg/L, and total nitrogen was up to 17.8 mg/L, exceeding the surface water environment quality standards of grade V in China. Haith [40] stated that five of the 37 pesticides resulted in potential acute risk to invertebrates and fish or algae when applied at label rates on lawns, fairways, or greens.…”
