Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green tourism consumption and sustainable development are important discourses as well as crucial areas of research in today’s world. As the concern for environmental protection and sustainable practices grows, the tourism industry plays a significant role in promoting responsible travel behaviors and minimizing the negative impacts of traveling on natural resources.
This Special Issue aims to collate cutting-edge research manuscripts on green tourism consumption and its implications for sustainable development. Papers that examine aspects such as green consumption preferences, environmentally responsible behavior, community engagement, and green innovation from a wide spectra of perspectives including tourists, tourism practitioners, residents in tourist destinations, and tourism businesses are welcome.
Through this endeavor, we seek to contribute to the understanding of how tourism can be a catalyst for positive change. The subject of green tourism consumption aligns perfectly with the scope of our journal Sustainability, which focuses on promoting research on sustainable practices and their impact on global development.
We welcome submissions of original research articles and reviews on topics including (but not limited to) the following:
- Sense of power and green consumption preference;
- Green human resource management and hotel employees’ environmentally responsibility behavior;
- Community engagement and participation in sustainable tourism development;
- The role of technology (e.g., AI) in promoting green innovation and sustainable development;
- Green brands of tourism business in promoting green consumption behavior;
- Strategies for promoting sustainable tourism products and experiences through responsible tourism marketing.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
