Two cross-sectional surveys in France and Italy explored the interest of 1205 young adults and the influence of individual features on sustainable wine tourism intention. Two scenarios with differently framed environmental information were tested through a mock winery webpage. Wine involvement, environmental attitude, perceived behavioural control were identified as core traits prompting young adults to experience sustainable wine tourism. The adoption of co-compatible practices and winery commitment in preserving biodiversity emerged as more attractive than a sustainability certification.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34520,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tourism Research Empirical Insights","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666957924000193/pdfft?md5=da6e4fa9ac3388f6df1d21c4a32fa1de&pid=1-s2.0-S2666957924000193-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140644253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite showing that many people gained experience in surface-based travelling during Covid-19, we also show that what is a satisfying holiday experience can be achieved to differing degrees with short-distance or flight-free travel.

Results indicate that electricity use is independent of minifridge use and that only a subset of hotel guests use the minifridge.
