“…With regards to the environmental element of CSR, the level and type of 8 research has increased significantly in the last decade with studies highlighting CSR features in tourism such as eco-tourism (Chiu, Lee & Chen, 2014), museums and heritage (Edwards, 2007), mass tourism (Weaver, 2014), tour operators and airlines industry (Dodds & Kuehnel, 2010;Coles, Fenclova & Dinana, 2011), leisure and sport (Salome, van Bottenburg & van den Heuvel, 2013) and destinations (Frey & George, 2010;Liu et al, 2014). Work exploring the marketing of tourism also notes a shift towards sustainability away from economic profit priorities (Jamrozy, 2007) and the linkages between CSR and CFP have also been studied within tourism.…”

“…Finally, a number of stakeholder groups have been examined with regards to environmental CSR within the tourism industry, with the most common being managers (Knowles et al, 1999;Ayuso, 2006;Frey & George 2010;Dief & Font, 2010) and tourists (Lee et al, 2013;Ramkissoon, Smith & Weiler, 2013;Chiu et al, 2014). A small number of studies explore the perspectives of the community (Liu et al, 2014) and multiple stakeholders, such as government and park authorities (Imran, Alam & Beaumont, 2014).…”

“…Therefore, if the intention of visiting does not reflect positive environmental behavior, it will not attain the purpose of ecotourism activities itself, but even damage the environment, instead. By means of responsible behavior towards the environment, travelers are expected to be able to restrict their damaging behavior toward environment, such as littering during the tour, capturing live animals at the sights, damaging the vegetation and so forth (Chiu, Lee and Chen 2014). Additionally, responsible behavior towards the environment, according to Chiu, Lee and Chen (2014), is strongly influenced by the travelers' perception prior to their visit and their experience during ecotourism activities.…”

The purpose -This research aims to investigate responsible environmental behavior intention of travelers formed upon visiting ecotourism sites in Indonesia. Nowadays, ecotourism has become a popular concept of tourism in Indonesia due to its rich potential of natural and cultural resources. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that not all travelers visiting ecotourism objects demonstrate positive environmental behavior. Several previous studies have already revealed that travelers' behavior may alter after visiting tourism sites. Unfortunately, there has not been much discussion on travelers' positive behavior formed after visiting an ecotourism site. In this research, four variables regarded as significant in shaping responsible environmental behavior intention included destination image, trip quality, perceived value, and satisfaction. Design/Methodology -This research applied a survey method. The research sample consisted of travelers who had visited ecotourism sites in Indonesia, while the number of respondents amounted to 210 travelers. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was selected as the technique of analysis. Finding -This research confirmed that five proposed hypotheses were supported. Hence, this study clearly contributes to the development of the theory and concept of ecotourism useful for practitioners associated with ecotourism activities. Originality of the research -Research on ecotourism in developing countries has not been much done. Similarly, the research on ecotourism related to intention to behave environmentally responsible is still not much to investigate, while the ecotorurism activities in Indonesia began in earnest. Therefore, research is expected to contribute ideas and implementation of ecotourism in developing countries.

“…From the aspect of economists, the issue of continuous management from the economic activity of manufacturers and consumers and distinct resource exchange is discussed. Chiu et al (2014) pointed out the key of ecotourism being the tourism of natural resources in which visitors did not simply pursue brand-new experiences, but searched for the assistance and guidance of interpreters and tourism businesses to enhance the understanding of local culture (covering humanities and nature) and further understand the economic benefits resulted from travel activity so as to conserve local resources. Ahmad (2015) regarded ecotourism as the travel pattern initially based on local nature, history, and intrinsic culture.…”

Abstract. When people increase the leisure time, leisure and recreation become an important industry in the economic transition under the trend of rapidly growing tourist attendance and enhancing travel expenses. To cope with such a development trend and satisfy the increasing recreational demand of the public, the government and the civil sectors have invested in the development and establishment of leisure and scenic recreation spots and facilities. Participating in ecotourism and developing ecotourism activity become the fashion. In this study, DEA is applied to measure the leisure benefits of ecotourism and properly select the input and output factors to efficiently evaluate the leisure benefits of ecotourism parks. According to the efficiency acquired with DEA and the information of variables, 1 DMU, about 10% of all DMUs, presents relatively strong efficiency on the leisure benefits, with the efficiency=1, revealing the better relative efficiency; 6 DMUs, about 60% of all DMUs, show relatively marginal efficiency between 0.9 and 1, revealing that the relative efficiency of such ecotourism parks can be easily enhanced; and, 3 DMUs, about 30% of all DMUs, reveal obvious inefficiency, with the efficiency lower than 0.9. Suggestions are proposed based on the results, expecting to promote ecotourism and achieve the sustainable development.
