“…), a wider accent on marketing is given. For example, local food with the lens of responsible exploitation of local resources, is conceived as a sustainable marketing tool [74,75]. Also, the role of digital platforms is afforded since they are participatory tools to enhance stakeholder engagement and to co-create new ideas for the destination's sustainable development [76][77][78].…”

This study evaluates bibliometric analysis of sustainable tourism in the open innovation realm, depicts emerging themes, and offers critical discussion for theory development and further research. Through the use of bibliometrix, this paper investigates the amount of studies conducted in this area and verifies if such studies have represented a contribution to the evolving research in the field of sustainable tourism. Specifically, the paper identifies whether and to what extent scholars have explored these interconnections and maps to get to a conceptual structure of the field under investigation. The results identify the development status and the leading trends in terms of impact, main journals, papers, topics, authors, and countries. The analysis and the graphical presentations are crucial, as they can help both researchers and practitioners to better understand the state of the art of sustainable tourism in the experiential and digital era.

“…China has the world's largest and most active number of SM users, and the most Internet users, at 634 million (45 percent internet penetration rate, 50 percent of the world's online users). Chinese spend 25 h online per week, increasingly connected via their mobile devices, and 70 percent of the bookings are made online [73][74][75] Therefore, this study has opted for China as the most appropriate area to conduct the empirical study.…”

“…The savoring and co-creation concepts can be linked to the benefits of slow and responsible tourism, an approach which stresses living more like a local, appreciating the local life and providing local economic benefits by behaving in a sustainable manner [2,71,72]. (3) Post-Consumption-Back Home: When tourists are on their way back from the destination or have returned home, they usually take two actions: (i) evaluate the tourism experience against their expectations and (ii) share and exchange their tourism experience [9,35,73]. Tourists derive great enjoyment from this last stage of the travel cycle/tourist journey, but last in this case is not the least important.…”

Could Smart Tourists Be Sustainable and Responsible as Well? The Contribution of Social Networking Sites to Improving Their Sustainable and Responsible Behavior

2020

A key strategic aim of tourism destinations within the smart tourism paradigm is to achieve efficient, responsible and sustainable use of tourism resources. This aim can be achieved by promoting the appropriate practices and making tourists co-managers, co-designers and co-creators of tourism experiences. This paper argues that smart tourism destinations should manage their resources in a sustainable way and that smart technologies can make their contribution. Could a smart technology such as social media/social networking sites make a contribution to sustainable tourism within the smart tourism paradigm? To address this research question, a project was carried out to explore the perceptions and attitudes of Chinese tourist consumers about the contribution of social networking sites to adopting a sustainable and responsible behavior within the context of a smart tourism framework. First a research framework encompassing three hypotheses related to the influence of social networking sites at the three main stages of the travel cycle/tourist journey was designed. An exploratory quantitative research was then carried out using the online survey technique. The study's findings indicate that the use of social networking sites influences the smart tourists at all three stages on adoption of sustainable and responsible behavior, the most significant influence is at the first two stages. The article is completed by discussing the related conclusions and management implications in the smart tourism management framework. Author Contributions: The authors' contributions were as follows. Conceptualization: S.S. and M.S.; Methodology: M.S. and Q.Z.; Software, Q.Z.; Validation, S.S. and M.S.; Formal analysis, S.S., M.S. and Q.Z.; Investigation: S.S. and Q.Z.; Resources: S.S.; Data curation: Q.Z.; Writing-original draft preparation: M.S.; Writing-review and editing: S.S. and M.S.; Project administration and supervision: S.S.

“…Environmental concern directly or indirectly affects sharing behaviours (Bamberg, ). There are studies in the context of tourism and visiting intention that suggest environmental concern serves as both a moderator and a mediator of pro‐environmental behaviours (Chang et al, ; Huang & Liu, ). Evans and Lepore's () study dissects environmental behaviour, indicating that environmental concern has both the property of moderator and mediator in their proposed relationship.…”

Shared clothes represent one example of the sharing economy whereby users provide a variety of clothes to people at fees representing mutual value through online platforms. Sharing creates a more circular economy and represents one form of sustainable consumption. Many studies have proposed environmental concern as a key influencer of customer intention and behaviour, yet other motivations may be driving sustainable consumption behaviours such as sharing clothes. This study aims to expand our understanding of shared clothes in line with attitude–intention–behaviour theory. The aim is to examine the moderating role of environmental concern in the relationship between perceived economic, functional (app quality/platform) benefit, reputation and trust of the app/platform on (a) intention to use online clothes‐sharing platforms and (b) spending behaviour of current users of the same sharing platform. A total of 250 and 232 usable questionnaires were gathered from potential and current users of shared clothing. Results reveal that environmental concerns are higher for current users when compared with potential users of the sharing platform. Results of this study identify that personal considerations such as economic benefit outweigh environmental considerations for shared clothes consumers. Practical implications, limitations, and future directions are highlighted.
