“…In this way, people can organize their lives more efficiently, also becoming more prolific. A fact that strengthens this point of view is the fact that many individuals turned to walking or biking as a means of transportation [85], especially when on vacations [86], and preferred to spend time in a natural environment [87].…”

“…Nevertheless, ANNs do not need multivariate assumptions (e.g., linearity, normality, variance), that are not appropriate for testing causality (M. J. Kim & Hall, 2022b). Therefore, the SEM and ANN methods can be considered as complementary (V. H. Lee et al, 2020).…”

“…In deep learning by the ANN and MLP method, the endogenous variables are better forecasted (M. J. Kim & Hall, 2022b). In other words, the prediction accuracy value of model C by the deep learning is greater than PLS-SEM.…”

Fifty percent of emissions must be cut by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050 to keep global warming below 1.5°C. Transport is a major component of tourism’s contribution to climate change. Therefore, encouraging tourists to use less energy intensive public transport is an important strategy in reducing tourism emissions. Despite the crucial role of public transport for sustainable tourism, the area remains substantially under researched and theoretically uninformed. To fill the research gap, an extended-value-belief-norm (EVBN) model was created and assessed, including environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, air quality, and climate change, and comparing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) groups of fair distribution, efficient allocation, and sustainable scale. Results revealed that an EVBN model well explains tourist behavior for public transport, showing the significant distinct effect of ESG components and SDG groups in the research model, and providing theoretical and managerial insights with respect to tourist use of public transport.

“…Several tourism related studies (e.g. Kim and Hall, 2022;Labanauskait_ e et al, 2020) have used between 10 and 20 participants in their pilot studies. The ten individuals in our study were requested to complete the questionnaire, and a short interview was held with each to assess the questionnaire in terms of readability, clarity, flow and ambiguity.…”

PurposeThis study aimed to determine the motivations of a select group of South Africans in terms of their potential engagement with cultural tourism; more specifically, the study set out to show whether these motivations influence the cultural activities that the tourists want to participate in and whether their interest in specific cultural activities determines their destination choices. Furthermore, the mediating role of activities in the relationship between cultural motivations and destination choice was also assessed.Design/methodology/approachAn online panel survey collected responses from 1,530 potential cultural tourists across South Africa. Hypotheses were tested, using structural equation modelling.FindingsThe results show that tourists' motivations for cultural tourism influence their likelihood of participating in specific cultural activities. Cultural tourism is shown to be influenced by more than learning and includes entertainment, relaxation, novelty and escape dimensions. There also seems to be a difference in the activities engaged in by destination type. For example, tourists likely to take part in indigenous cultural tourism activities are more likely to do so at hedonic destinations.Practical implicationsThis paper contributes to the understanding of cultural tourism activities, aiding destinations in attracting cultural tourists. Destinations need to develop activities that match visitor motivations, increase satisfaction and encourage visitors to return.Originality/valueThe paper increases the understanding of cultural tourism in South Africa and underlines the importance of communities in providing distinctive tourism activities. The study also has an important social dimension, highlighting the role of social status in cultural tourism consumption and destination selection.
