“…According to the fi ndings of previous studies consumers with higher income and education levels are more willing to support environmentally and socially responsible business practices of hospitality and tourism companies, however in case of Kazakhstani consumers we have received the controversial results opposite to this fact. The second and third hypotheses of the study were not confi rmed and the results of the test revealed that there was no correlation between the motivation to support responsible business practices and income as well as education level of respondents (Table 3 Willingness to be involved in sustainable consumption and responsible practices depends on individual's awareness about corporate social responsibility initiatives of hospitality fi rms [20]. As it has been shown by study results Kazakhstani consumers are willing to pay higher prices for environmental and socially friendly products and services as a result of personal level of sustainability awareness and such kind of behavior does not depend on income or education level of individuals.…”

Cycling Tourism: A Literature Review to Assess Implications, Multiple Impacts, Vulnerabilities, and Future Perspectives

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cycle tourists are increasingly prominent in the profile of world tourism and, in the light of the literature, it is essential, among other things, to examine more closely who they are, what their concerns and motivations are that generate the choice of a cycle tourism product, and, as a priority, the level of economic, social, and environmental impact they cause at destination. In this context, this literature review aims at identifying authors’ and publishers’ interest in cycle tourism, the positive and negative effects of this form of tourism on the economic environment (direct and indirect), as well as effects on the social environment (benefits and potential drawbacks for local communities, along with health benefits for practitioners) and, last but not least, the degree of vulnerability to economic crises generated by travel restrictions. The conclusions reported in this article, as they have been drawn from analyses and examples of best practice, based on natural and anthropogenic geographical conditions, will be prioritised as future research directions. The usefulness of this approach lies in the information with significant applied and novelty aspects, addressed to local, regional, and national authorities, cycling and cycle-tourism associations, and various private interested enterprises, with a view to promoting cycling for recreational purposes and implementing cycling/cycle-tourism infrastructure as a sustainable way of developing small towns and rural areas with tourism potential.
