“…Whilst there is a rich seam of research and practice in the overall marketing literature on sustainable issues and responsible consumption (c.f. McDonagh & Prothero, 2014;Ulusoy, 2016;Wymer & Polonsky, 2015), this is less-well developed in tourism, but the wider literature attests to the potential role of marketing to understand and encourage consumer behaviour that is more sustainable, create and promote more sustainable tourism offerings, and ensure that tourism businesses operate in a more ethical way, congruent with the concerns of all stakeholders. We define sustainability marketing as the application of marketing functions, processes and techniques to a destination, resource or offering, which serves the needs of the visitor and stakeholder community today and ensures the opportunities of future visitors and stakeholders to meet their needs in the future.…”

Tourism marketing has typically been seen as exploitative and fuelling hedonistic consumerism. Sustainability marketing can, however, use marketing skills and techniques to good purpose, by understanding market needs, designing more sustainable products and identifying more persuasive methods of communication to bring behavioural change. This article summarises the latest research on the theories, methods and results of marketing that seeks to make tourist destinations better places to live in, and better places to visit. It explores sustainability marketing's two fundamental approaches, that of market development, using market segmentation, and that of sustainable product development. It introduces a Special Issue of the Journal of Sustainable Tourism on sustainable marketing, sharing evidence on the motivations, mechanisms and barriers that businesses encounter, and on successes in changing consumer behaviour and pursuing sustainability goals. Particular attention is given to the methodologies of sustainable tourism marketing, to the subject's breadth and complexity, and to its many innovations. Further research is called for to fully understand what contextual aspects influence these prosustainability interventions to achieve which outcomes in other settings, in order to validate some of the exploratory studies discussed, and establish the feasibility of scaling up pilot studies for more general use.

“…In this study, energy conservation is considered to be one of the various dimensions of responsible consumption. Here, responsible consumption refers to "consumption that has a less negative impact or more positive impact on the environment, society, the self and the other beings” (Ulusoy, , p. 285). It entails “rational and efficient use of natural resources with respect to the global human population” (Fisk, , p. 24).…”

Energy conservation is a crucial aspect of responsible consumption which is the reflection of individual efforts for sustainability. However, especially young consumers are reluctant to reduce their energy consumption despite their pro‐environmental attitudes. Resistance to behavioural change can be attributed to various psychological barriers that help consumer to avoid engaging in pro‐environmental actions. In this context, the first aim of the study is to extend the theoretical and empirical evidence regarding impeding effects of psychological barriers on individual energy conservation behaviour. Secondly, the study investigates the alleviating role of environmental knowledge on those barriers that limit energy conservation. Proposed impeding effects of objective and subjective environmental knowledge on various denial mechanisms, which are in turn expected to hinder energy conservation, were tested using the survey data collected from young Turkish consumers. Results suggest that denial mechanisms hinder young consumers’ energy conservation behaviour indirectly through diminishing feelings of moral obligations. Moreover, it was found that objective environmental knowledge's effect can be used to break down the psychological barriers and to facilitate the change towards more sustainable energy consumption patterns. Implications of the findings and directions for future research are discussed.

“…Numerous studies in developed nations have investigated several personal, situational, and psychological variables affecting individuals' sustainable consumption exercises. However, most of the investigations have disregarded the effect of behavioural factors (such as supportive behaviour towards environmental organisations; Koklic et al, 2019;Ulusoy, 2016). Phipps et al (2013), via their theory of reciprocal determinism, suggested that besides individual and sociocultural factors, individuals' past sustainable practices may also influence their future sustainable conduct.…”

Sustainable consumption refers to consumers' socially and environmentally responsible consumption practices. The present study is the first to investigate possible individual, behavioural, and situational factors that predict sustainable consumption intention among young consumers in India. A survey was carried out on 325 young consumers. Structural equation modelling was applied to check the extent to which the considered variables predicted sustainable consumption. The results determined drive for environmental responsibility, subjective norm, and attitude towards sustainable consumption as key predictors of consumers' sustainable consumption intention. The paper offers a better understanding of the main predictors of consumers' sustainable consumption intention. Such understanding may enable managers to design effective marketing strategies to encourage sustainable consumption intention and behaviour.
