“…The 30 behaviors (mostly environmentally friendly, some environmentally unfriendly) were chosen from lists developed by Corraliza and Berenguer (2000), Johnson, Bowker and Cordell (2004) and Trumbo and O'Keefe (2001). Respondents were asked to complete this question separately for the home and the vacation context; respondents were surveyed both in their role as residents and in their role as tourists.…”

This paper identifies which information about tourists serves as the best predictor of their pro-environmental behavior at home and on vacation. If a small set of predictors can be identified, the tourism industry would be able to use them to focus attention on attracting tourists with smaller environmental footprints. Results from a survey asking respondents about pro-environmental behavior in their role as residents and tourists indicate that environmental concern, altruism, feeling morally obliged to behave environmentally friendly, age and regional identity are the best predictors of the segment of people who behave in an environmentally friendly way at home. Income levels and moral obligation best predict membership of the segment of environmentally friendly tourists. The two segments overlap, differences between them are due to the fact that, at home, people can create the infrastructure they require to behave environmentally friendly. On vacation they need to adjust to the infrastructure provided, which can act as a barrier to pro-environmental behavior. Results have direct practical implications, highlighting the value of demand-side approaches to environmentally sustainable tourism for protected areas, both urban and rural, such as focusing on those market segments that have the highest intrinsic inclination to protect the environment.

Selective marketing for environmentally sustainable tourism

2008

The natural environment represents the main resource for many tourism destinations and tourists are increasingly interested in spending their vacation in unspoilt natural areas. Consequently, destination managers are under increased pressure to implement ecologically sustainable practices. Selective targeting of tourists has been proposed as one approach to sustainable destination management, but the feasibility of this approach remains untested. Therein lies the contribution of this study. Results from a survey of 1000 Australians indicated that market segments based on past environmentally friendly behaviour at the destination represent distinct groups with respect to psychographic, behavioural and socio-demographic personal characteristics. These explanatory variables contributed substantially to explaining proenvironmental behaviour. It was concluded that selective target marketing represents a feasible complement to current sustainable tourism management techniques which focus on tourists at the destination who may not necessarily be interested in protecting the local environment.

“…With regard to pro-environmental activities, Corraliza and Berenguer (2000) included in their broad concept of 'environmental actions' some non-purchasing items such as 'taking bags for reuse when going shopping' and 'signing petitions supporting environmental protection organizations'. Bohlen et al (1993) developed a scale of 'political action', which included items such as 'supporting environmental pressure groups', 'writing to newspapers about green issues' etc.…”

This article presents an examination of non-purchasing ecological behaviors and their influential factors. The results indicate that consumers who engage in recycling, proenvironmental post-purchasing behavior and pro-environmental activities are highly educated people. Among them, those who are mostly involved in recycling and the non-energetic, rather traditional, activities are mostly influenced by their positive attitudes towards recycling, as well as by their social responsibility. Those who adopt more energetic, more active, behaviors are mostly influenced by their beliefs that they hold power over politicians and politics. It was also found that those who are engaged in one type of non-purchasing pro-environmental behavior are more likely to engage in another type as well.
