“…Despite some inconsistent definitions of community resilience, there is general agreement about the three ideas at the foundation of community resilience: (1) the amount of stress that the system can bear while still maintaining the same structure and function, (2) the self-organization level of the system, and (3) the level of the system that enhances adaptive capacity by learning [6,46]. Based on these fundamental aspects, Marshall and Marshall develop and validate a scale to measure perceived community resilience [46], and it has been implemented in recent studies [66][67][68]. In this study, perceived community resilience in tourism destinations was examined using twelve items adapted from Reference [46], and place attachment was examined based on the scale from Reference [69].…”

Abstract:The concept of resilience has recently received a substantial amount of attention in sustainable tourism research. Nevertheless, empirical studies on the factors that may influence the perceived resilience of community residents in tourism destinations remain lacking. A thorough analysis is needed to examine place attachment as a catalyst of or a barrier to community resilience in tourism destinations. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the influence of place attachment on perceived resilience based on data derived from 655 residents in two earthquake-affected tourism communities in Sichuan Province, China. The empirical results indicate that place identity and place dependence have a positive influence on the perceived resilience of community residents in tourism destinations. The equality test for the structural model demonstrates that the influence of place attachment on perceived community resilience is invariant across native residents and lifestyle tourism immigrants. Residents who develop strong place attachment to their communities exhibit greater resilience and adaptive capacity.

“…Previous research has discussed the diverse impacts of climate change on tourism including tourism demand [18,19], destination choice [20,21], and seasonality [22]. Recent research has identified the potential negative impacts of climate change on environmental and tourism-dependent economic long-term sustainability in climate change-sensitive regions [23] such as coastal areas [24], winter sports regions [25,26], and coral reefs [6,27,28]. Every destination is climate-sensitive to some extent [29].…”

Tourists’ Environmentally Responsible Behavior in Response to Climate Change and Tourist Experiences in Nature-Based Tourism

Nature-based tourism destinations-locations in which economic viability and environmental responsibility are sought-are sensitive to climate change and its effects on important environmental components of the tourism areas. To meet the dual roles, it is important for destination marketers and resources managers to provide quality experiences for tourists and to induce tourists' environmentally responsible behavior in such destinations. This study documents the importance of perceptions toward climate change and tourist experiences in determining tourists' environmentally responsible behavior while enjoying holidays at nature-based tourism destinations in Jeju Island, South Korea. Two hundred and eleven Korean and 204 Chinese tourists marked dominant tourist arrivals to the island, and responded to the survey questionnaire. Results showed that perceptions toward climate change and tourist experiences affect Korean tourists' environmentally responsible behavior intentions, whereas tourist experiences-not perceptions toward climate change-only significantly affect Chinese tourists' behavior intention. In a nature-based tourism context under the pressure of climate change and adverse environmental effects as consequences of tourism activities, resources managers and destination marketers need to develop environmental campaigns or informative tourist programs to formulate environmentally responsible behavior as well as to increase tourist quality experiences among domestic and international tourists.

“…Vulnerable countries are likely to experience more economic and political instability due to climate change suggesting that tourism development may be a poor development strategy in the long term (Peeters, 2009). At the same time, national and international carbon emissions mitigation policies are increasingly being established, resulting in increased transport prices, which are anticipated to impact on tourist flows (Marshall, Marshall, Abdulla, Rouphael & Ali, 2011). Marshall et al (2011) suggest this may result in less long-haul travel with implications for many developing countries far from tourism source markets.…”

(2015) Travel, tourism, climate change, and behavioral change: travelers' perspectives from a developing country, Nigeria. Journal of Sustainable Tourism, 23(3), 437-454.Travel, tourism, climate change and behavioral change: travelers' perspectives from a developing country, Nigeria Abstract While studies have examined people's understanding of climate change and its relationship to tourism, these focus largely on developed country populations. Much future tourism growth will come from developing countries following economic development, often countries where climate change will be strongly felt. Do tourists from developing countries have the same knowledge gaps about travel, tourism and climate change as in the developed world? Will behavioral change policies be successful in encouraging more environmentally friendly approaches to climate change and tourism in developing countries? This paper presents findings from 20 in-depth interviews with active Nigerian tourists, analyzing their understanding of climate change, the links known, or not, between their travel and climate change, and their willingness to change their tourism patterns. Understanding of climate change was limited and there was conceptual confusion. Participants did not view their own travel as a cause of climate change and many were embedded in air travel practice. Participants were unwilling to change their tourism patterns to reduce their contribution to climate change. Significant structural barriers limit low carbon tourism travel in Nigeria (and other developing countries), including reliability, availability, safety and speed. Behavioral change will be difficult to achieve.
