Sustainability of Green Tourism by International Tourists and Its Impact on Green Environmental Achievement: Petra Heritage, Jordan

Abstract

The environmental advantages of green tourism are attracting the attention of a wider range of stakeholders. The behavior of travelers toward green tourism sustainability and its impact on the accomplishment of a green environment has not been well studied empirically, particularly in Petra. In this research, we use an expanded framework of the theory of planned behavior to explore the behavioral features of foreign visitors toward the sustainability of green tourism (TPB). Descriptive analysis of the explanatory survey was the method of choice for the research project at hand. A large number of respondents were tourists. Office administrators are responsible for the formulation of a company's corporate strategy. 400 tourists took part in our survey for this research. According to our results, travelers' views toward green tourism were highly influenced by their opinions of the sustainability of green tourism and their environmental concerns. In addition, our findings show that visitors' intentions to engage in the sustainability of green tourism are negatively influenced by subjective norms, whereas tourists' attitudes are positively influenced by these norms. Both environmental concerns and the desire of visitors to engage in green tourism have a substantial influence on ecologically responsible tourism behavior, according to our findings.

Motivational Factors and Financial Support for Entering Sustainable Ecological Destinations as Impulses for Sustainable Tourism and Environmental Protection: A Case Study on the Example of National Parks

“…The authors point to the appropriate use of national parks, while emphasizing the role of distiller management. Al Fahmawee et al (2023) found in a study that tourists' intentions to engage in sustainable ecotourism are negatively affected by subjective norms, while tourists' attitudes are positively affected by these norms (Sutiksno et al, 2024). The environmental behavior of tourists is also addressed by other authors (for example, Gao et al, 2023;Paul and Roy, 2023).…”

Community Attachment to AlUla Heritage Site and Tourists’ Green Consumption: The Role of Support for Green Tourism Development

“…AlUla has consequently grown to be one of the most significant ecotourism destinations, which prioritizes environmental preservation and provides tourists with distinctive experiences by promoting sustainable economic growth, preserving natural resources, and supporting residents [2]. Therefore, the responsible authorities in AlUla resorted to adopting strategies to develop green tourism in the city to conserve the ecosystem and preserve the well-being of local residents [3]. According to Dodds and Joppe [4], the concept of green tourism has four components including (1) environmental commitment: preserving and improving nature and the physical environment to guarantee the long-term health of the ecosystems that support life; (2) local economic vitality: to maintain economic sustainability, local economies, enterprises, and communities are supported; (3) cultural diversity: respecting and valuing cultural variety is essential to ensure the long-term survival of the host or local cultures; and (4) experiential richness: offering fulfilling and pleasurable experiences via direct and meaningful engagement with people, places, animals, and cultures.…”
