“…The present study extends the understanding of environmental sustainability by including consideration of the actions and behaviours of sport event attendees. The environmental sustainability of major sport events has become of importance to a number of stakeholders, ranging from sport event organisers and sponsors, to policymakers and sport event attendees (Bama & Tichaawa, 2015;Han et al, 2015;Boggia et al, 2018;Habitzreuter & Koenigstorfer, 2018;López-Bonilla et al, 2018;Minoli et al, 2018;Alonso-Vasquez et al, 2019;Casper et al, 2019;Chirieleison et al, 2019). McCullough and Kellison (2016) opine that an inquiry into environmental sustainability emerges from the inevitable impact of sport events on the natural environment, ranging from the construction of sport event facilities and stadia, as well as the subsequent operations, through to the travel-related implications of sport event attendees for the natural environment (Dolf & Teehan, 2014;Fekry et al, 2014).…”

“…Major sporting events use energy, emit greenhouse gases, and generate large waste bins (Super Bowl 2016) in Detroit, 500 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions (from transportation and utility use), while the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens produced one million tonnes in two weeks, almost similar to what a city of one million emits over a similar period. Each game during the 2006 FIFA World Cup in the summer will produce about 3 million kilowatt hours of energy (similar to 700 European families annually), and about 5 to 10 tonnes of waste [9].…”

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the factors affecting sustainable management in sporting events for students worldwide. The method of this study is a review study and has become a challenging issue due to the importance of environmental issues in the world and the role of the environment in researcher has studied and translated related articles and books on sustainable management at sporting events from 2000 to 2019. According to the findings, sustainable development is a process of change that aligns resource utilization, investment management, technological development orientation and organizational change with current and future needs. Identifying and explaining students' attitudes to the environment, as an informed and influential part of society, is an essential and important step in environmental policy making and generating awareness of the environment and its dangers and how to protect the environment. The researcher concludes that resolving the contemporary environmental crisis requires the development of student participation to preserve the environment in sporting events so that by increasing knowledge of changing values and enhancing change potential, appropriate conditions are created for solidarity and harmony between students and the environment. Be provided. The more students use information resources such as the visual media, the written, their environmental attitudes and performance in sporting events, the better environmental factors.

“…However, the sustainability of golf from the consumer's perspective has been very little studied [10,18,48,49]. In this case-from the visitor's perspective-the studies have focused on the behaviour of golf tourists, especially based on the motivation of visitors [5,50,51], intentions to return to the golf destination [2,52,53], destination selection [54], determinants of golf tourists satisfaction [55,56], image of the golf destination [57], price [16], golf supply and demand [58], gender [59][60][61], and profile of golf travellers [19,[62][63][64].…”

“…Hence, this paper allows exploring the environmental attitudes and behaviour from a tourist's perspective. Following Wilhelm-Richmann, Cowling and Difford [9] and Minoli, Goode and Metcalfe [10], an insightful grasp of environmental attitudes and behaviours of golf tourists is imperative to enable conservation practitioners to interpret better the barriers to carrying out environmental management programmes.…”

Environmental attitudes and behaviours have received relatively little attention in golf tourism, compared to other tourism research areas. Golf tourism provides products and services based on nature, and they should focus on the environment. Golf has become increasingly important in the development of European tourism within the last decade. Moreover, golf is one of the primary motivations for European tourists in the sports tourism sector. This study is based on a sample of 431 golf tourists, from different nationalities, who visit Andalusia, Spain. This research examines the relationship between environmental attitudes and behavioural intentions for three subsamples of European nationalities: British, German, and Spanish. This relationship was corroborated in the three subsamples. However, the national citizenship of European golf tourists was not a moderator effect on the relationship between environmental attitudes and behavioural intentions.
