“…The relation between local and sustainable also emerges in G€ otze and Brunner (2020). Last but not least, certified food products, just like PDO honey, are of great importance for the development of territories and of local economic systems (Br s ci c et al, 2017) and for building resilience in rural areas (Sgroi and Modica, 2022). Despite the importance of PDO labels, and even though sub-national ethnocentrism has been explored for different PDO products, the literature on honey consumer behaviour lacks an ethnocentric perspective.…”

PurposeThe goal of this study is to understand if ethnocentrism exists at the sub-regional level among honey consumers living in the same production area as a protected designation of origin (PDO). Moreover, this analysis explores if ethnocentrism is influenced by individual economic conditions, among other socio-demographic characteristics.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 725 consumers was collected through the use of a questionnaire that was circulated in the province of Varese, one of the few honey PDO areas in Italy. The authors performed a principal component analysis and a two-step cluster analysis to identify different PDO honey consumer segments, focusing on their interest for PDO attributes.FindingsThe authors identified four consumer segments, depending on socio-demographic, consumption habits, frequencies, preferred attributes and preferences for the PDO product. One cluster exhibited strong preferences for the PDO honey, in the spirit of ethnocentrism, and was characterised by low-income levels; ethnocentric preferences were also observed in another cluster that had a different socio-economic profile.Research limitations/implicationsHoney is a niche product and not universally diffused among consumers: further analyses should investigate sub-national ethnocentrism for more universal food products. Yet, through the inspection of the different profiles found, it was possible to devise marketing strategies to boost PDO honey purchasing and to bring consumers closer to PDO products.Originality/valueThis analysis considers ethnocentrism as a segmentation criterion for PDO honey consumers that live in the very same PDO honey production area and enriches the existing literature on the relationship between ethnocentrism and individual economic status.

“…Among the different products that are made and put on the market, with fake Italian brand and names that remind of Italy, it is possible to find also those with PDO and PGI marks, since these reflect in particular the quality and guarantee of the same [6]. It is necessary, therefore, to protect Italian products, above all in order not to fall into the theory of the already mentioned Akerlof, according to which the bad product succeeds in making the good product fall by the wayside [7].…”

“…Tourism is a major social and economic phenomenon which characterizes the development of contemporary society [1][2][3]. However, tourism activity brings strong economic gains in terms of wealth creation, job generation and territorial enhancement [4][5][6]. Its impact on the respect of cultural and natural heritage also poses serious problems [7,8].…”

Human travels are considered the biggest source of carbon dioxide emissions, and climate change is considered the most important part of this problem. On the other hand, the tourism sector is one of the sectors that facilitates intense human mobility and travel. The aim of this research is to estimate the carbon footprint of aircraft and road transportation due to international and domestic touristic trips to Marrakech/Morocco between 2010 and 2018. In this research, the preferred means of transportation and the distances traveled by the tourists who visited Marrakech/Morocco between 2010 and 2018 were used as a data set. Carbon footprint calculations were made according to each transportation vehicle preference. The total carbon footprint was calculated at the same time. In general, the average 9-year carbon footprint of touristic trips to Morocco from different parts of the world has been found to be 7148.90 tons in total. The per capita carbon footprint of all visitors from different countries of the world has been determined as 0.416 kg. However, tourism, due to its transport intensity, particularly air transport, is a growing source of greenhouse gas emissions. It should be taken into account in the definition of climate policies following the Paris Agreement.
