“…HSR's early history dates back to the "bullet train" (Shinkansen in Japanese), which was able to reach a speed of 210 km/h [21]. However, after the HSR was established first between Tokyo and Osaka, HSR networks began to spread worldwide in countries such as France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Spain, and China [22][23][24].…”

“…Studies in the tourism domain have focused on the HSR's effects (e.g., accessibility and mobility) on the tourism industry from different perspectives (e.g., [11,[23][24][25][26]]. HSR's economic effects have been a significant focus on these studies (e.g., [25,27]).…”

“…Similarly, Shaw et al [27] examined the changes in travel time, cost, and distance accessibility during different developmental stages in China. In addition, some studies have investigated the changes in tourists' behavior patterns (e.g., [24]). For example, Wang et al [24] examined the characteristics of tourists' spatial patterns before and after the HSR network's introduction.…”

“…A number of studies to date have extended the TPB to various contexts, including tourism and hospitality. Some examples include leisure activities [28], destination choice [29,30], festival visits [31], tourism information adoption (e.g., [32]), lodging [33], tourists' civilized behaviors [34] and environmental behaviors [24,35]. In the context of service, Shaaban and Maherr [36] have applied the TPB to predict the use of public transportation services.…”

The Role of Perceived Quality on High-Speed Railway Tourists’ Behavioral Intention: An Application of the Extended Theory of Planned Behavior

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, airlines worldwide have enforced strict travel restrictions, driving passengers to seek alternative transportations such as High-Speed Railway (HSR). Nevertheless, the current understanding of HSR travelers’ behavior is scarce. Moreover, despite the extensive application of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to explain and predict patrons and tourists’ behavior in the tourism and hospitality context, little research has employed this theory to examine HSR travelers’ processes in making travelling decisions. This study developed a research model by integrating perceived quality into the TPB and examined the relation between HSR passengers’ service quality and intention to travel in the future and the mediating effect of TPB attributes. It is found that perceived train service quality and perceived travel quality have a significant influence on the TPB attributes, which further influence HSR travelers’ travel intention. This study contributes practical implications to destinations and the travel industry that they might attract visitors by marketing the corresponding HSR train service quality and travel experience quality. This also provides recovery guidelines for the transportation and travel industry after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pro‐environmental behavior plays a pivotal role in mitigating adverse environmental conditions like climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the current study aims to demonstrate the evolution of pro‐environmental behavior research and determine the emerging areas of this research field. This study employs a bibliometric approach encompassing temporal, co‐word, citation, and bibliographic coupling analyses using SciMAT and VOS Viewer to analyze 1824 articles extracted from Scopus, spanning the period from 1993 to 2022. The findings of bibliometric analysis reveal that (i) After the introduction of sustainable development goals, the research on pro‐environmental behavior has considerably evolved and gained enormous diversity, (ii) the predominant research themes include ecotourism, sustainable consumption behavior, and corporate social responsibility, (iii) green behavior and green marketing are the two significant emerging research areas. This study would facilitate research practitioners and academicians in comprehending evolving trends and identifying avenues for future research.

Tourist civility is attracting growing attention from practitioners and scholars. However, the research on the effects of knowledge of tourist civility and Taoist values on tourist civility intentions (TCI) is incomplete. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), an expanded and integrated framework was developed to explore TCI with data from 358 domestic tourists in China. Structural equation modeling was adopted and mediation and moderation models were tested through the bootstrapping approach. The findings suggested that attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, knowledge, and Taoist values directly affected TCI. It was also found that attitudes positively mediated the connections between subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, knowledge, and Taoist values with TCI; and subjective norms negatively moderated not only the association between knowledge and attitudes but also the mediating effect of attitudes on the link between knowledge and TCI. The results confirmed that the extended TPB exerted greater explanatory power than the original model. This research provides a clearer understanding of TCI by integrating the knowledge‐attitude‐behavior and value‐attitude‐behavior models within TPB, which advances the knowledge of the underlying factors that motivate tourists toward civility, and offers a practical perspective to cultivate TCI with targeted strategies.
