Abstract
Sustainability is becoming a vital theme in the development of tourism-related industries and have been notably investigated in the aviation and accommodation industries, but, sustainability in the context of the tourism shopping industry, which generates a great proportion of the tourism and travel sectors' contribution to gross domestic product, has been rarely studied. Using discrete choice modelling, this study holistically models the impact of tourist heterogeneity on tourist shoppers' preference towards different sustainability features and estimates their attribute-specific willingness to pay under a three-pillar framework. Tourists' heterogeneity underlying their sustainability-related behavioural tendency and socio-demographic profiles are depicted by market segmentation and its socio-demographic determinants, respectively. Segment-specific behaviour, sustainability willingness to pay and socio-demographic profiles are then presented to provide managerial implications in a more comprehensive manner.

Tourism Management, the preeminent scholarly journal, concentrates on the comprehensive management aspects, encompassing planning and policy, within the realm of travel and tourism. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, the journal delves into international, national, and regional tourism, addressing various management challenges. Its content mirrors this integrative approach, featuring primary research articles, progress in tourism research, case studies, research notes, discussions on current issues, and book reviews. Emphasizing scholarly rigor, all published papers are expected to contribute to theoretical and/or methodological advancements while offering specific insights relevant to tourism management and policy.
