“…A deep analysis of the results reveals that good AQ is likely to have a positive influence on travel behaviour, travel intention and destination choice (Bohm and Pfister, 2011; Becken et al , 2017; Hill et al , 2000; Jun-hui, 2018; Law and Cheung, 2009; Zhang et al , 2015; Zhu, 2018). This corroborates part of the findings of the literature review undertaken by Zajchowski et al (2018) on the effects of good AQ on human behaviour. However, the variables representing AQ, the methodologies adopted and the tourism markets and destinations considered, vary across the studies.…”

“…Most papers selected for this systematic review include empirical studies, only one is a literature review (Zajchowski et al , 2018). The literature review carried out by Zajchowski et al (2018) differs from the one in the present paper, as it only focusses on the social and psychological effects of degraded AQ in and around parks and protected areas, and only analyses papers published in journals. In contrast, the analysis carried out in the present paper focussed, as already mentioned, on destinations, excluding specific attractions, but encompassed a wider range of documents, including papers published in conference proceedings.…”

Purpose Tourism may have important positive and negative economic, socio-cultural and environmental impacts. However, cultural and natural resources are also the base to the development of competitive destinations and changes in these resources can have an important impact on tourism development. Despite the considerable literature regarding the impacts of tourism, a limited number of studies examine the impact of the environment on tourism, specifically the impact of air quality (AQ). Therefore, this paper aims to review what is known about the impact of AQ on tourism demand, analysing the different methods and approaches used, as well as the results obtained. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review method was used to examine the state of the art in this topic and identify research gaps and new research directions. Only 26 papers were identified that examine the impact of AQ on tourism demand. Findings The majority of the studies were carried out in China and investigate the impact of AQ on tourism from the perspective of tourism demand. Both global (tourism demand) and individual (tourist perceptions) approaches have been used to investigate the impact of AQ on tourism. Originality/value This is the first systematic literature review on the impact of outdoor AQ on tourism demand. Moreover, this paper analyses the methods and approaches that have been used in the literature to examine the impact of outdoor AQ on tourism demand. The paper ends with a discussion on the identified research gaps concerning the influence of AQ on tourism development.

“…As already mentioned, little is known about the influence of AQ on travel planning. A small number of studies were published (Becken et al, 2017;Hill et al, 2000;Jun-Hui, 2018;McKercher et al, 2015;Peng & Xiao, 2018;Saura et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2018;Wu et al, 2018;Zajchowski et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2015) examining the impact of AQ on destination image, visitors' satisfaction, intention to return and travel behaviour, with some of this research providing relevant insights on the potential importance of AQ in travel planning. Results mention that AQ exerts a very important role in the visitors' consumption behaviour, leading to the expectation that AQ will also be highly relevant when the visitors plan tourism trips.…”

Air quality (AQ) is gaining considerable visibility within the tourism sector. However, despite several studies analysing the impact of tourism activities on the AQ of destinations, little is known about the inverse relation. This paper analyses the role of AQ on travel planning and the factors influencing it, specifically the influence of environmentally friendly daily behaviours and concerns with AQ impacts on visitor health. To accomplish this, a questionnaire survey (N = 834) was carried out to visitors. Two Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and two multivariate regression models were used to identify the factors influencing the role of AQ in travel planning. Results reveal that despite AQ not having a substantial role in travel planning of tourism activities, the environmentally friendly daily behaviours of visitors have a positive influence on the role of AQ in travel planning. The paper ends with some theoretical and practical implications.

“…ey provide ecosystem benefits for human health and climate change adaptation [14]. However, studies show that increased concentrations of air pollutants in world's natural parks raise serious concern [15][16][17][18]. In developed countries, there are national programs for monitoring atmospheric pollution in nature parks (for example, the air quality monitoring program of the US National Park Service: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/air/air-monitoring.htm).…”

Today, protected natural areas cover about 15% of the Earth’s land. These areas by definition are supposed to be free of pollution; they nevertheless suffer from the effects of aerial transport of anthropogenic polluting substances. In this study, we evaluated the impact of settlements on protected natural areas to determine the optimal distance beyond which the anthropogenic influence would be minimal. For this purpose, we analyzed the particle size distribution and the content of metals in fresh snow samples collected in the Bastak Nature Reserve and the neighboring Birobidzhan city (Russian Federation). Both sites contained comparable proportions of PM10 and contents of heavy metals, which points to the transportation of air pollutants from the city to the reserve. The results of the analysis were summarized and compared with the available data on other nature reserves and nearby populated localities. Based on the research data, pollutant emissions should be decreased for cities that are closer than 50 km to nature reserves. Moreover, authorities should take into consideration atmospheric factors and distance to the nearest settlement when establishing new protected natural areas.
