“…Almeyda, Broadbent, Wyman, & Durham, 2010;Reimer & Walter, 2013). Tourists who make commitments to giving back to host communities and landscapes have been described as those with a genuine interest in experiencing and learning about nature and with a personal commitment to protection and conservation of environments (Perkins & Brown, 2012).…”

“…Here, institutionalised narcissism enabled unethical and illegal practices which ultimately destroyed the firm and caused severe hardships for its many stakeholders. These characteristics are clear obstacles to the processes of stakeholder collaboration and planning closely associated with developing and implementing sustainable development (Almeyda et al, 2010;Hardy & Beeton, 2001;Marcouiller, 1997;Reimer & Walter, 2013).…”

The concept of narcissism normalisation suggests that individuals and societies are becoming more narcissistic due to various cultural influences. Tourism is reviewed here as one such possible influence. Exploitative, entitled and exhibitionistic tendencies associated with narcissism are wellestablished in tourism. Yet tourism is also an intimate, communal and satisfying activity which may counteract narcissism. Increases in narcissism have significant implications from a sustainable tourism perspective. Narcissism is associated with exploitative and entitled behaviours that over time cause significant harm to those people and landscapes that come into contact with. Narcissism appears to be incompatible with principles of sustainability and the challenges this poses for the industry are reviewed, while the opportunities are also explored. There are signs that narcissism, particularly those aspects relating to exhibitionism, can be co-opted to benefit sustainable development.

“…Besides, an individual with responsibility for the environment or oral commitment to the environment would be more willing to precede environmental behavior (Shen, 2013). Researchers discussed the relationship between environmental behavior and various factors and discovered that ones with positive environmental attitudes would not necessarily practice conservation behavior actively (Ramdas and Mohamed, 2014 Researchers indicated that visitors would induce positive emotion after experiencing eco-tourism, and the satisfaction and environmental behavior would appear positive effects (Reimer and Walter, 2013). In the research on visitors to Yangmingshan National Park, Shrode (2012) pointed out the positive correlation between tourist satisfaction and environmental behavior, and visitors with higher tourist satisfaction presented higher environmental behavior.…”

Li -Wang: An empirical study on the effect of eco-tourism visitors' environmental attitudes - Abstract. Eco-tourism, a tourism business emerged in the end of 20 th century, covers the education awareness of environmental conservation. Without quality environment, visitors would not actively go sightseeing. For this reason, sightseeing, to some degree, is attached to the environment. Domestic and international public sectors and private sectors therefore discuss eco-tourism related issues, think of reducing the impact of eco-tourism on the environment, and maintain the right to enjoy natural resources and the environment for descendants. Visitors to Yongchun Niumulin Ecological Tourism Zone, the research object in this study, are distributed and collected the questionnaire on-site. Total 360 copies of the questionnaire are distributed, and 251 valid copies are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 70%. The research results are summarized as following. 1. Environmental attitudes present significant correlations with tourist satisfaction. 2. Tourist satisfaction shows remarkable correlations with environmental behavior. 3. Environmental attitudes reveal notable correlations with environmental behavior. The suggestion, proposed according to the research result in this study, expects to reduce the impact of eco-tourism on the environment and maintain the rights to enjoy natural resources and the environment for descendants.

“…Deeper interaction with local people appears to contribute to the positive exchanges that sustainable tourism is rooted within (Canavan, 2016). Similarly, deeper interaction with natural landscapes may nurture increased environmental consciousness amongst hosts and guests (Reimer & Walter, 2013). Moreover, being willing (or even desiring) to put up with significant inconvenience such as basic infrastructure, in order to access deeper experiences of nature and culture, may reduce the need for intrusive development, help to distribute impacts beyond tourism centres, spreading development and alleviating pressures, and increase inputs into local areas (Hampton, 1998;Paris & Teye, 2010;Scheyvens, 2002).…”

“…Collaboration, for example, something which facilitates the exchange of expertise, resources and enthusiasm that can stimulate the reappraisals, entrepreneurship and creativity needed to develop and implement sustainable solutions (Hardy & Beeton, 2001), is stimulated by proximity of hosts and guests (Canavan, 2016). Similarly, the awareness of natural and cultural landscapes commonly described as a prerequisite to their protection (Almeyda et al, 2010;Eagles, 2002;Reimer & Walter, 2013) is fostered by involvement and participation with these (Cheng & Wu, 2015;Perkins & Brown, 2012).…”

An existentialist exploration of tourism sustainability: backpackers fleeing and finding themselves

This article applies existentialism to sustainable tourism discussion using an exploratory netnographic case study of 12 backpackers. Highlighted is the importance of both existential avoidance and authenticity to participants looking to escape and transcend underlying existential anxiety. Avoidance can be found in the cultural-adherence and selfesteem pathways facilitated by travel. Authenticity is identified in the deeper interactions with host peoples and landscapes, and the liberation, reflection and learning which emerge from this. Avoidance and authenticity are linked in turn with the sustainability of tourism pursued. The former is associated with more hedonistic escape and superficial, selfcentric and insensitive tourism. The latter is suggestive of more transcendent escape and involved, appreciative and alternative tourism.
