Abstract

Implementing the concept of sustainability in tourism needs a significant reduction of vacationists' ecological footprint at destination level. A key aspect there is tourists' travel mode choice on-site. Based on an online-panel based survey in Italy and Germany and applying ordinal regression, this study analyzes for the destination South Tyrol, the impact of five blocks of potential factors on public transportation (PT) usage during a vacation: sociodemographics, everyday mobility at residence, attitudes toward climate change and environment, preferences for cars, and PT services at the destination, including the availability of a guest card for free PT use. The results of an ordinal regression analysis show that the availability of a guest card and the level of daily use of PT at home significantly increase PT usage. This is countered by daily use of the car at home and a positive affinity toward cars, having a negative effect on PT use.

鼓励游客在度假目的地使用公共交通的决定因素

要在旅游业中贯彻可持续发展理念，就必须在目的地层面大幅减少度假者的生态足迹。其中的一个关键因素是游客的现场旅行方式选择。本研究基于在意大利和德国进行的在线小组调查，并采用序数回归法，分析了南蒂罗尔旅游目的地的五个潜在因素对游客在度假期间使用公共交通（PT）的影响：社会人口统计学、居住地的日常流动性、对气候变化和环境的态度、对汽车的偏好以及旅游目的地的公共交通服务，包括是否提供免费使用公共交通的客人卡。序数回归分析的结果表明，客人卡的可用性和在家日常使用公共交通的水平会显著提高公共交通的使用率。而在家日常使用汽车和对汽车的积极亲和力则会对公共交通的使用产生负面影响。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Tourism Research promotes and enhances research developments in the field of tourism. The journal provides an international platform for debate and dissemination of research findings whilst also facilitating the discussion of new research areas and techniques. IJTR continues to add a vibrant and exciting channel for those interested in tourism and hospitality research developments. The scope of the journal is international and welcomes research that makes original contributions to theories and methodologies. It continues to publish high quality research papers in any area of tourism, including empirical papers on tourism issues. The journal welcomes submissions based upon both primary research and reviews including papers in areas that may not directly be tourism based but concern a topic that is of interest to researchers in the field of tourism, such as economics, marketing, sociology and statistics. All papers are subject to strict double-blind (or triple-blind) peer review by the international research community.
