However, we know little about how these DMOs frame the sustainability discourses of their destinations or how they urge potential consumers to act. We conducted a content and discourse analysis of six European Arctic DMO consumer websites. The findings reveal examples of euphemistic labelling and using morally neutral language to conceal unsustainable activity. There is a sustainability communication discourse in what can be interpreted as moral muteness. Moral muteness helps us to interpret how DMOs downplay the negative impacts of tourism and promote low-effort pro-environmental behaviour to provide a narrative that allows the clients to morally disengage. This article contributes to the call for discussion on the ethics of sustainable tourism and the need to overcome an innately economic growth-friendly tourism science.","PeriodicalId":48387,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Tourism","volume":"49 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136347514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Engendering prosociality through tourist-to-tourist interaction in religious tourism: an existential transformative perspective","authors":"Ting Jiang, Jun Gao, Xiaojie Zheng, Yue’e Liao","doi":"10.1080/09669582.2023.2277126","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09669582.2023.2277126","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractThe religious prosociality hypothesis explains why visitors with religious beliefs tend to be more prosocial. Interestingly, in the context of religious tourism, non-believers who travel to religious tourist destinations often experience a prosocial turn similar to believers, but the mechanism behind it remains unclear. Drawing on an existential transformative perspective, this study uses tourist-to-tourist interaction (TTI), prosociality, interpersonal authenticity, and emotional solidarity to investigate the transformative power of religious tourism experiences in making one more prosocial. Questionnaires were distributed in a famous religious tourist attraction in China’s Yunnan Province. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS24.0 and Amos24.0. Research findings include: TTI positively influences interpersonal authenticity and emotional solidarity; interpersonal authenticity and emotional solidarity positively affect prosociality significantly; interpersonal authenticity and emotional solidarity mediate the relationship between TTI and prosociality. This study analyses the mechanism of prosociality aroused by TTI in religious tourism and fills the research gap on how religious tourism affects the relationship between individuals and society. It also provides practical implications for relevant destinations to facilitate TTI to maximize the positive social impacts of religious tourism activities.Keywords: Religious tourismprosocialitytourist-to-tourist interactioninterpersonal authenticityemotional solidarity Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThe research was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China [No: 42001146].Notes on contributorsTing JiangTing Jiang is a lecturer at Shenzhen Tourism College, Jinan University, China.

It employed cognitive neuroscience methods with 397 participants, revealing that, despite their preference for sustainable tourism scenarios, children exhibit a notable fixation on images emblematic of overtourism and associated challenges, particularly overcrowding. When exposed to sustainable tourism photographs, there was an observable increase in physiological arousal, albeit not as pronounced as when confronted with an overtourism scenario. Intriguingly, regardless of the scenario, children predominantly expressed neutral emotions. Within the sustainable tourism context, gender differences manifest as girls exhibiting lower levels of place attachment. Furthermore, inner-city residents exhibit diminished levels of nature connectedness, and emotions are indirectly linked to nature connectedness, place attachment, or pro-environmental behaviour. Conversely, in the unsustainable scenario, older children and inner-city residents exhibited a heightened sense of neutrality towards overtourism-related concerns, whereas those outside the inner city displayed a stronger affinity for nature connectedness. Positive emotions were negatively associated with nature connectedness and pro-environmental behaviour but positively associated with place attachment. Accordingly, this study advocates a more inclusive and sustainable future through children’s empowerment in tourism development.","PeriodicalId":48387,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Tourism","volume":"60 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135539860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis and necessary condition analysis are employed. The findings reveal that tourism does not act as either a necessary component or bottleneck to green development. Four models of tourism-driven high green development are identified including migration-based, growth-based, government-led tourism-driven, and government-led non-tourism-driven. Additionally, the causal relationship between tourism and green development is apparent primarily in less economically-developed regions. The study affirms the asymmetric causal impact of tourism on green development and presents a systematic and in-depth understanding of the asymmetric multivariate pathways that tourism can use to promote green development. These findings represent a significant contribution to the current literature and offer new perspectives for the field of sustainable tourism research.Keywords: Configurational analysistourismgreen developmentgreen total factor productivityfuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysisnecessary condition analysis Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (71764027) and National Social Science Fund of China (22BGL157)","PeriodicalId":48387,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Tourism","volume":"76 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136022842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 3 x 2 experimental design was utilized to test the impact of climate-framed messages on Australian tourists’ attitudes towards leisure air travel. The manipulations were persuasive advertisements framed around attitude functions, containing either central or peripheral message cues. The results indicate that utilitarian and value-expressive messages containing central arguments were most impactful. Climate concern and objective knowledge also served critical roles in message elaboration. Our results indicate that persuasive climate communications are integral in changing air travel attitudes and overcoming moral disengagement. Such messages targeting consumers therefore play an essential role in transitioning to lower carbon mobilities.","PeriodicalId":48387,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Tourism","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136023517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this goal, this research used a sequential exploratory mixed-methods design. In this context, qualitative study and quantitative studies were carried out, respectively. Study 1 included qualitative study, while study 2, 3 and 4 included quantitative studies. In the study 1, the social media posts of 14 green influencers were subjected to the content analysis to provide an operational definition of the GIM. With this content analysis, green influencer marketing and its sub-factors, which are environmentally friendly product-oriented influence and environmental sustainability-oriented influence, were conceptualized and a 15-item pool was obtained. Quantitative data for study 2, 3 and 4 were collected from participants who followed at least one of the 14 green influencers. In the quantitative studies, multiple waves of data collection were used. In the study 2, the item pool was purified and refined with the help of quantitative research. Thus, a scale consisting of 2 dimensions and 8 items was obtained (n:100). In the study 3, the factor structure of the scale was confirmed through the test-retest method (n:202). In the study 4, the research model hypothesized using the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) Theory was tested to ensure the nomological validity of the scale (n:321). The research model built for nomological validity consists of GIM, perceived fit with personal interests, green behavioral intention, and environmental consciousness variables. GIM was measured using an 8-item and two-factor scale developed in this study. Perceived fit with personal interests was measured using a three-item scale adapted from Casaló et al. Green behavioral Intention was measured using a four-item scale adapted from Jain et al. An eight-item scale developed by Huang et al. was utilized to measure environmental consciousness. According to the findings, environmentally friendly product-oriented influence and environmental sustainability-oriented influence significantly predicted behavioural intention towards green tourism products. As a result, this research makes a valuable contribution to the literature by conceptualizing the GIM and developing its scale.Keywords: Green influencer marketingscale developmentstimulus-organism-response theorygreen behavioural intentiongreen tourism products Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":48387,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Tourism","volume":"46 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136022716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dwelling on two socio-psychological theories of cognitive dissonance and the focus theory of normative conduct, 724 Chinese tourists are surveyed and segmented. Three segments namely eco-distressed, eco-pragmatic, and eco-calm are identified revealing different dispositions of eco-paralysis, environmental concern, and pro-environmental behaviors. Complemented by 37 interviews, we found that eco-paralysis does not necessarily mean inaction but helplessness and perceptions of feeling “small” in the face of “giant” climate change while overcoming numbness with small actions. This study suggests that the eco-paralysis of Chinese tourists is manifested at the cognitive-emotional level rather than at the behavioral level. Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the varying degrees of cognitive dissonance among different tourists with each group displaying unique environmental concerns and behaviors. It, theoretically, highlights how social and injunctive norms such as government environmental advocacy and traditional virtues [“qinjian jieyue”] stimulate progressive actions despite feelings of powerlessness. Thus, it questions the prevalent interpretation in environmental psychological research that helplessness means inaction by revealing that tourists could still be environmentally proactive despite cognitive-emotional challenges from climate change.","PeriodicalId":48387,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Tourism","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136023527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a co-created ethnographic case study focussing on a local restaurant in a popular tourism region in Tasmania, this study raises the question as to what business strategies offer opportunities for regenerative practices to materialise and mitigate concomitant challenges in a post-pandemic world. Drawing attention to the social dimension of entrepreneurship, this study highlights the significance of local embeddedness for tourism businesses to successfully transition to regenerative practices. Conceptually, this investigation is guided by the notion of ‘entrepreneuring’, which denotes an emancipatory process where economic activities are largely motivated by an orientation towards social change and the desire to make a difference in the world. Implementing regenerative practices requires entrepreneurs to disrupt the status quo and do things differently, such as drawing on social networks instead of financial resources, altering discourses and mindsets and, ultimately, pushing for innovation and transformative change. The implications of this paradigm shift for operators in the tourism and hospitality sector need to be prioritized in future tourism research.","PeriodicalId":48387,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Tourism","volume":"1 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136158480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
