“…In the present study, this relationship between both constructs was confirmed in the three subsamples of nationalities, which is consistent with some studies [86][87][88][89][90]. Therefore, in contrast to findings from other studies [82,91,92], there is a strong association between environmental attitude and ecological behaviour in all groups of study.…”

Environmental attitudes and behaviours have received relatively little attention in golf tourism, compared to other tourism research areas. Golf tourism provides products and services based on nature, and they should focus on the environment. Golf has become increasingly important in the development of European tourism within the last decade. Moreover, golf is one of the primary motivations for European tourists in the sports tourism sector. This study is based on a sample of 431 golf tourists, from different nationalities, who visit Andalusia, Spain. This research examines the relationship between environmental attitudes and behavioural intentions for three subsamples of European nationalities: British, German, and Spanish. This relationship was corroborated in the three subsamples. However, the national citizenship of European golf tourists was not a moderator effect on the relationship between environmental attitudes and behavioural intentions.

“…The subjective norms included in this model or linear framework are adopted from the TPB, and they help us to understand and extend the explanatory framework of the intention of ecotourist behavior intention, following the line of studies such as Goh et al (2017). Similarly, our model indicates that subjective norms influence personal norms as well as behavior intention (Stern 2000).…”

2019. Cross-cultural analysis of the ecological behavior of Chilean and Spanish ecotourists: a structural model. Ecology and Society 24(4):38. https://doi.ABSTRACT. Citizen concern for the environment in light of problems such as freshwater shortages, deforestation, and climate change has been steadily increasing in postmodern societies since the mid-20th century. Ecotourists and their proenvironmental or proecological behavior are still areas of opportunity for research in order to understand the factors, whether economic, cultural, social, demographic, or psychographic, that determine this behavior. This research uses the value-belief-norm (VBN) theory and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to analyze the intention to practice ecotourism among ecotourists from two countries with different cultures and customs. Based on these premises, the objective of this work is to create a new model that facilitates the understanding of the intention to practice ecotourism, as well as the intention to pay more for it, by comparing ecotourists from two different cultures, Chilean and Spanish, in which the importance of ecotourism is similar. The data were obtained from a panel of 809 ecotourists (406 Chileans and 403 Spaniards) through partial least squares-structural equation modeling. The results indicate that the model is a good fit to the data; therefore, the hypotheses were confirmed. Specifically, the construct of conscience in consequences and the construct of personal norms have a strong influence on the intention to practice ecotourism. The results suggest that the proposed model is a useful framework for understanding the behavioral intention of ecotourists from different countries and their intention to pay more for ecotourism. The cultural differences between the two countries did not affect the causal relations established in the model in any way.Ecology and Society 24(4): 38 https://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol24/iss4/art38/ LITERATURE CITED Aguilar, M. 2006.

“…One of the significant benefits of attitudinal research is the prediction of behaviour through attitudes (Ajzen, 1991). Past studies have also reported empirical evidence on the strong correlations between attitudes, intentions and behaviour (Goh, 2011;Goh, Ritchie, & Wang, 2017). Sustainability refers to a system's ability to be continued, and is the dominant concept in environmental policy and research (Brown, Hanson, Liverman, & Merideth, 1987;Shearman, 1990).…”

“…They recommend values as useful variable for predicting environmental behaviour. However, some researchers (Goh et al, 2017) have dismissed the role of pro-environmental values in the prediction of proenvironmental behaviours. Therefore, it depends on whether individuals associate these values with the actual behaviour.…”
