“…There is far less work, however, on the travel behaviour of Brazilian, Russian and/or Indian tourists. Some exceptions include Kim et al (2006) on the impact of environmental values on Brazilian domestic tourists' motivations, Choi et al (2011) on the destination image of Korea by Russian tourists and Bandyopadhyay (2012) on how the tourism industry in India markets colonial nostalgia to Indian domestic tourists. These signal an underserved area in tourism CB research, as an insufficient understanding remains of several strong emerging markets that have powerful implications for the future shape of tourism demand.…”

Although consumer behaviour (CB) is one of the most researched areas in the field of tourism, few extensive reviews of the body of knowledge in this area exist. This review article examines what we argue are the key concepts, external influences and opportune research contexts in contemporary tourism CB research. Using a narrative review, we examine the CB literature published in three major tourism journals from 2000 to 2012. Of 519 articles identified and reviewed, 191 are included in this article. We examine the development of and scope for future research on nine key concepts, including decision-making, values, motivations, self-concept and personality, expectations, attitudes, perceptions, satisfaction, trust and loyalty. We then examine three important external influences on tourism behaviour, technology, Generation Y and the rise in concern over ethical consumption. Finally, we identify and discuss five research contexts that represent major areas for future scholarship: group and joint decision-making, under-researched segments, cross-cultural issues in emerging markets, emotions and consumer misbehaviour. Our examination of key research gaps is concluded by arguing that the hedonic and affective aspects of CB research in tourism must be brought to bear on the wider CB and marketing literature.Keywords: consumption; travel; behaviour; marketing; research agenda Introduction Consumer behaviour (CB) involves certain decisions, activities, ideas or experiences that satisfy consumer needs and wants (Solomon, 1996). It is 'concerned with all activities directly involved in obtaining, consuming and disposing of products and services, including the decision processes that precede and follow these actions' (Engel, Blackwell, & Miniard, 1995, p. 4). CB remains one of the most researched areas in the marketing and tourism fields, with the terms 'travel behaviour' or 'tourist behaviour' typically used to describe this area of inquiry. Few comprehensive reviews of the literature on CB concepts and models exist in the field of tourism. Exceptions include Moutinho (1993) who reviews the social and psychological influences on individual travel behaviour with the aim of developing a model of tourist behaviour and Dimanche and Havitz (1995) Tourism, 2014 Vol. 17, No. 10, 872 -909, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13683500.2013 four concepts (ego-involvement, loyalty and commitment, family decision-making and novelty-seeking) in an attempt to methodologically advance CB in tourism studies.A lack of comprehensive reviews is not only due to the extensive breadth of the topic area itself, but also because travel behaviour is generally considered as a continuous process that includes varied yet inter-correlated stages and concepts that cannot always be analysed separately (Mill & Morrison, 2002). Tourism researchers have reviewed individual concepts (e.g. Riley, Niininen, Szivas, & Willis, 2001, on loyalty), specific influences (e.g. Moutinho, 1993, on social influences on CB), and particular research contexts (e.g. Hong, Lee, L...

“…Secondly, the festival activities focus on promoting regional economic development [10,26]; therefore, the research on tourist festival-related issues has focused mainly on tourists' participation behavior and economic benefit evaluation, such as satisfaction and recreation experience [27,28]; perceptual value and recreation motivation [29]; effect and revisiting intention [15,16]. To examine variety of issues, we should implement different kinds of research, such as research on event festival activities [30] or traditional festival activities [31].…”

Abstract:The sustainable development of the festival depends on the support and participation of residents and tourists. There are a number of practical and theoretical gaps regarding the hosts and guests in festival literature. This study attempts to fill the host-guest gap based on the theory of reasoned action to construct and exam a relationship model. Taking the 2016 Summer Festival during busy season as an example in Hualien, 1165 questionnaires were valid, and data were analyzed by SEM (structural equation modeling). Results showed that the hosts had higher perception than the guests in terms of the festival benefits, identity, and support. This study has two concept models: the guest model and the host model. In the host model, the local-development benefits have more positive relationships to affect the festival support and festival identity than the recreation-experience benefits. On the other hand, the recreation-experience benefits could affect the festival support, but the festival identity could not in the guest model. The results of this study indicate that the festival organizers or the public sectors must be pay attention to the viewpoints of the guests and hosts in order to achieve the sustainable development objectives.

“…Among the researchers who have applied findings from the NEP scale to the study of tourism participation, the studies conducted by Kim et al (2006), Luo and Deng (2008), Ong and Musa (2012), and White (2008), are the most relevant to this current research. Using an NEP scale to measure environmental concern, Ong and Musa (2012) investigate scuba divers' underwater behavior.…”

“…Their studies have shed new light on the tourism literature; nevertheless, their framework is designed to investigate eco-behavior and the current study aims to explore participation behavior. Kim et al (2006) studied NEP's applicability to motivation to attend the International Festival of Environmental Film and Video (FICA) at the city of Goias, Brazil. This is an event that brought together actors, directors, and producers of environmental cinema and videos.…”

Finding the balance between economic development and preservation of the natural environment is a challenging yet important task. This is a particularly pressing issue in the case of China, as it is the largest and fastest-growing market for tourism. The purpose of this research is to examine Chinese tourists' participation in nature-based, tourism activities by incorporating tourists' environmental concern, measured by a
